Production Details Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. In the cellar, the whole berries are sorted with an optical sorter and then gravity-fed into wooden fermenters. Each batch is cold-soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Fermentation takes place naturally in the wooden tanks. The wines were aged for 24 months in 80% new French oak. After bottling the wine is bottle-aged for another 24 months.
