Production Details The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning hours to ensure the grapes come in cold into the cellar. Skin contact was done for up to 6 hours on selective blocks only. This technique, along with picking the grapes at different ripeness levels, contribute to the complexity of the aromas. The juice was inoculated with selected yeast strains and fermented in concrete and stainless steel tanks. Temperature was controlled between 13–15 °C during alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation the wine was racked off its primary lees and clarified followed by a light filtration of the wine before bottling.
