Grapes are harvested early in the season to preserve the variety's elegant style and complexity. Grapes are sorted and destemmed as soon as they reach the cellar. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 26- 28°C in stainless steel tank. Over a period of 15 days, the juices are punched down daily in order to extract colour and tannins. A small percentage of the wine is aged using French oak, to empower the wine with more complex aromas and silky tannins.
