Winemaking:
Working with concentrated fruit from low-yielding vineyards (3-4 tons/ha), care was taken not to produce
over-extracted wines. The juice was fermented with local yeasts and macerated for 5 weeks. Maturation took place in 100% new 225l Sylvain and Taransaud French oak barrels with at least three rackings over a 23-month period.
