Making Techniques
Alcoholic fermentation took place in tanks, lasting 16 days. After maceration, the wine was put in new French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation for three months with a weekly 'bâttonage' on lees. We then picked a selection of the best barrels and, after blending them, the wine is moved to new French oak. The wine was aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels, where it was racked twice, employing traditional methods.
