Winemaking
Grapes from different vineyards were vinified separately before blending and were vigorously checked on a double selection table before being put into small stainless steel tanks. The alcoholic fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C, for 15 days with 15% of the fruit remaining whole bunch. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months with 90% in concrete tanks and 10% in untoasted large oak foudres. Once blended, the wine was aged for 6 months in bottle prior to release.
