Production Details Only a small batch of 4 tons was produced in an open fermenter. Half the grapes were destemmed, and the other half was whole bunch with gently crushing-foot stomping by the cellar team. Fermentation took place with selected Rhone yeast strains at 22-26°C. Punch downs were done twice a day. The wine was barrel matured for 10 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels.
