In the vineyard
Harvest by hand at mid October
Winemaking
It is harvested approximately in mid-October. As it is a group of plots, it is made in stainless steel tanks, open barrels and eggs. After a cold maceration of approximately 7 days, the wine ferments naturally with its indigenous yeasts.
Ageing
Once fermented and pressed, it undergoes malolactic fermentation in 3-year-old barrels.
Subsequently, the wine remains 12 months on the lees, partly in barrels and partly in eggs.
Bottled without filtering or fining.
