Vinification
Harvested by hand in 25-kg crates, the grapes are brought to the estate's winery as quickly as possible in order to preserve the integrity of this extremely delicate fruit. If necessary, the grapes are then sorted on a vibrating table to remove any damaged grapes or bunches.
The harvest is destemmed to avoid excessive bitterness due to the tannins in the stems. Maceration and fermentation lasts 20 to 28 days in our temperature-controlled conical oak vats. This allows us to monitor fermentation temperatures which have a direct influence on the extraction of aromas, flavours and colour. Finally, gentle, selective pressing allows the character and elegance of the wine to shine through.
