Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested by hand with great care, destemmed and gently crushed. The juice then fermented on the skin in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-27°C for ten days. After fermentation, the wine matured in barriques for 18 months, using a combination of first, second and third barrels, each containing 40% French and 60% American oak.
