Production Details The grapes were destemmed and crushed, then fermented from a spontaneous pied-de-cuve with 60 days of skin contact in 15–25 hL fibreglass tanks. The wine matured for 18 months in tank before bottling without fining and with light filtration, followed by another 18 months of rest before release. The sheet reports 15–50 mg/L SO2 and says it may be added or not; this range is retained here rather than converted into a single sulfites value.
