Winemaking

Grapes are harvested fully ripe, generally in September. After destemming, the berries are placed into stainless‑steel vats. Fermentation lasts about 10 days and is controlled through a water‑belt system regulating each vat’s temperature. Manual punching‑down is performed once a day. When fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for around 8 months before bottling.
