Production Details The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Whole bunches were pressed and the juice settled overnight. Spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeast occurred in both stainless steel tanks (47%) and French oak (11% new). The wine spent 12 months on the lees before being blended and bottled.
