Winemaking
The grapes were handpicked into small boxes and swiftly transported to the winery, preserving all freshness. Following the destemming of the bunches, the grapes were pressed and the must clarified in extreme cold temperature for 48 to 72 hours. Prolonged fermentation at a low temperature (12-16°C) to enhance the aromatic expression of both varieties. The wine was aged for 3 months on fine lees with regular bâtonnage to provide greater complexity and texture.
