Winemaking technique
Grapes are harvested by hand at the beginning of October. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 25°C simultaneous with a brief eight day period of steeping in order to obtain a fresh wine.
The wine, after fermentation, passes the winter in steel tanks.
Malolactic fermentation is only partly terminated.
The wine is bottled in March after it has achieved chemical and biological stability. It is refined in the bottle for about 1 month and then marketed.
