Production Details Grapes were harvested in the early morning. The fruit was destemmed and gently crushed to ensure good juice recovery. After filling the press, the juice was immediately drained from the skins to obtain clear juice for fermentation. Different yeast strains and fermentation temperatures were selected to obtain fruit while highlighting the specific growing conditions of the vintage. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine spent 4 months on the lees in tank with regular stirring. The wine was filtered before bottling.
