Production method
Hand-picked in 15 kg crates; on arrival at the winery, the grapes were completely destemmed and pressed directly. The closed press remained in contact with the skins for around 4 hours to ensure a delicate pre-fermentation extraction. We used only the teardrop must, which underwent static decantation for 24 hours. It was fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. After alcoholic fermentation, it was transferred, cleaned and sulphited to block malolactic bio-conversion. Aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees for 12 months. Bottled in October 2022.
