Production Details Vines were grown predominantly with single- and double-Guyot pruning. After cool fermentation and full malolactic fermentation, the wine matured on fine lees in tank for six months before bottling and then for an average of 18 months further on lees in bottle. These month-based durations are retained as text because the source does not provide exact day counts.
