Production Details The grapes were transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks and cooled overnight. Bunches were hand-sorted and whole-bunch pressed the following day, and the juice settled overnight. The juice was then racked into an old French oak foudre where spontaneous fermentation occurred. The wine was aged for 7 months on the lees without MLF before being bottled.
