WINEMAKING

Grapes are manually picked and carefully transported in small 20 kg crates. Harvest occurs in several steps, in order to secure an optimal maturity level. Bunches are sorted a first time as soon as they arrive in the cellar. Then, once the grapes are fully destemmed, they go through another double sorting table. Grapes are vinified batch by batch, in oak or truncated cone-shaped oak vats, the aged for 18 monthsin oak barrels (33% new).
