Harvest
- Manual harvesting
- Sorting on foot and table if necessary
- White crates to lower the temperature of the grapes
Winemaking

- Traditional pressing
- Settling by flotation for 4 hours (to limit the infusion of impurities)

Ageing

- Stainless steel tanks to avoid the addition of exogenous aromas
- Malolactic fermentation for the development of wines
