| Winemaking | The grapes are harvested by hand in the first half of October, at a late ripening stage. Destemming and selection take place on the sorting table before pressing. Alcoholic fermentation lasts about a week at a controlled temperature, followed by a short maceration on the skins. The malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel and about 20-30% is passed on to second passage French oak barrels. This is followed by a one year refinement in steel and at least 3 months in the bottle, before being put on the market. |
