Winemaking
The grapes were hand picked and crushed after careful selection at the winery, followed by a cooling to 8°C with a maceration period at 10°C for three days. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of around 24°C in small concrete tanks. Malolactic fermentation and ageing took place in both American and French oak barrels of which 20% was new and 80% second use. The wine was aged for a total of 12 months in barrel before bottling.
