HARVEST:
The grapes are carefully picked by hand in late August. Harvest takes place very early in the morning to ensure that the fruit stays fresh.
VINIFICATION:
The grapes are de-stemmed and gently pressed. The must is then chilled to 12°C and left to rest for 18 hours. The clarified must is then racked and placed in stainless steel fermentation tanks.
