Vinification
The grapes were harvested by hand and carefully transported in 18-kilogram boxes to preserve integrity of the fruit. In the cellar, 20% of the harvest underwent whole bunch fermentation in concrete tanks, while the remainder was destemmed. Fermentation occurred with indigenous yeasts over 15 days. Following gentle pressing, malolactic fermentation took place in Austrian oak vessels (1,500-litre foudres and 500-litre barrels), followed by 12 months ageing, softening tannins while preserving a pure expression of fruit.
