Production Details The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyards. Most of the Chardonnay undergoes whole-bunch pressing, while a small portion is destemmed before pressing. Fermentation takes place in barrels with varying NTU levels, utilizing both spontaneous and inoculated methods. Partial malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel, with periodic batonage, adjusted according to vintage conditions. The wine matures for 10 months in barrels of different types, sizes, and toasting levels, after which it is blended and bottled.
