Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were harvested by hand in two phases, with the first component fermented naturally in a combination of wooden barrels, concrete tanks and clay amphorae, producing the wonderfully fruity bouquet in the wine. The riper portion of the grapes, harvested later, was also fermented naturally in older barrels, providing the wonderfully full mouthfeel. Once fermentation was complete, the barrels were aged for 10 months with regular stirring up and down of the lees (batonnage), after which all the components were blended and bottled.
