Vinification: This wine is a product of microvinification in small containers and very limited raw material. When entering the winery, the grape goes through a double manual selection, first of bunches and soon of grains. Then it is taken to a special room with temperature below 20 ° C, where the alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the malolactic fermentation. The post-fermentative maceration is 15 to 20 days. The wine is withdrawn from the buckets and transported to French oak barrels, 50% new, in which the aging is carried out for 20 to 22 months. This traditional method allows a delicate treatment of the grape, since all processes are made by gravity.
