The whole grapes are immediately pressed in a closed bladder press and the must is transferred to a stainless steel tank. After 48 hours the must is separated from the solid parts and transferred to barriques for fermentation. There it stays together with the yeast left over from the fermentation for 3 years. During the first year, once a week the wine is brought into contact with its yeasts, a method called ‘battonage’. Then it is separated from the yeast and rests in stainless steel for one year. It ages in the bottle for 2 years before release. It is bottled without filtration. |
