Winemaking
The grapes were hand picked early in the morning in 12-kilogramme boxes to preserve freshness and fruit purity. They were then hand sorted before undergoing a temperature-controlled cold maceration on the skins for five days at 6-8°C to extract colour and aroma. The must was inoculated with specially selected yeasts and fermented for 10 days at 26-28°C. The wine then remained on its skins for a further five days to ensure good colour and tannin extraction. 65% of the wine was then racked off into a concrete egg-shaped tank, which allowed continuous contact with the lees. The other 35% was racked off to second-use French oak barrels and aged for 12 months. After ageing, these two portions were blended together and lightly filtered to retain the full character of the wine.
