Viticultural and vinification methods
The grapes are harvested at a ripeness so it is unnecessary to chaptalise. The harvest is mechanical and the grapes are transported swiftly to the cellar to avoid oxidation. The must is gently collected using a pneumatic press and a gravity system is in place to ensure the utmost care is given. After a light use of sulphur the must is fermented in tank under a controlled temperature. Once malolactic fermentation has taken place the wines are separated from the lees, clarified and bottled.
