After one day of settling, the juice is transferred into 400L French oak barrels where natural fermentation takes place over 40 to 60 days at 13C. After fermentation, the wine is matured in barrel for up to 10 months with monthly batonnage of the lees. No malolactic fermentation takes place. The barrel regime is 10% 1st fill, 10% 2nd fill, 10% 3rd fill and 70% older medium-toast barrels.
