Winemaking
Grapes were hand selected, crushed, and cool-macerated at 10°C for 2 days. Selected yeasts were then added to begin alcoholic fermentation; this lasted 10-15 days. The wine was racked from its skins and remained in stainless steel tanks until complete malolactic fermentation had taken place. 40% of the wine was aged in 225-litre French oak barrels for 6 months before blending and bottling.
