Production Details Grapes are chilled in a cold room, destemmed, and around 25% whole bunches are added. Minimal SO2 is added. The must is initially pigeaged once a day. After about 4 days, fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is pigeaged once or twice a day. Temperatures are not allowed to exceed 28°C. Total maceration is between 4 to 6 weeks. The wine is then drained and pressed to barrel for malolactic fermentation. The different parcels are racked in Spring to blend the wine, which is then returned to barrel.
