Ratings & Reviews

Vinification

Grapes were harvested in September and October, with hand-selection of the best quality. The fruit was placed on trays in a drying loft until December at 18°C and 70% humidity. Berries were de- stemmed, pressed, then inoculated with cultured yeast. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks over a period of 30 days at 18°C, with daily pumpovers and delestage (racking). Wine was aged for 24 months in barriques and 6 months in bottle prior to release.
