Winemaking
Brief over-ripening on the vine, followed by selection and picking at full phenolic ripeness. Destemming, crushing and fermentation in steel at 28 °C, with délestage and around two weeks’ maceration. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation in used or reconditioned French-oak tonneaux preserves the fruit’s integrity.
