Vinification and ageing
The grapes are sorted and the harvest is either entirely or partially destemmed depending on the vintage. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for a few days is followed by alcoholic fermentation under monitored temperatures. Punch-down and/or pump-over is performed as required. Maceration lasts for 20 to 30 days depending on the vintage. Natural malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden vats and demi-muids (600-litre barrels) depending on the vintage, followed by 10 to 12 months ageing. Bottled without fining or filtering.
