Vineyards:
Cool coastal climate and decomposed granite soil. The grapes were harvested during the third week of March.
Ageing method:
The grapes were destemmed and pressed gently to avoid extracting bitter phenols. The juice was left to settle and then put into stainless steel vats where the alcoholic fermentation took place with natural yeasts at temperatures ranging between 14-16°C. Malolactic fermentation was blocked and the wine aged over its fine lees for several months.
