| Winemaking: |
Gentle pressing according to pH levels with separation of the different fractions. Precipitation at 12°C for 24-36 hours without any additives. Fermentation using selected yeasts in French oak barrels (30% new oak, 30% second wine, 30% third wine) without temperature control. At the end of alcoholic fermentation (that takes two weeks), we prevent malolactic fermentation with a light addition of SO2. The wine is not racked, and spends 10-11 months on its lees with occasional battonnages depending on the evolution of the wine. |
| Stabilisation: |
We use a minimum of oenological additives. Prior to bottling (if required) we use a small dose of bentonite and the wine is lightly filtered with systems that ensure the qualities of the wine are preserved.
