Vinification
Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grapes went through a double sorting process: first by bunch, then (after destemming) by individual berry to ensure that only fruit in pristine condition made it into the wine. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts took place in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 28-30°C. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 16 months in second and third use French oak barrels before the final blend was assembled and bottled.
