The grapes are harvested when grapes maturity controls indicate the ideal moment. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, fermented at a controlled temperature (between 25-30°C). During the alcoholic fermentation, the objective is to maximise the aromas of the future wine and to obtain a good structure with no agressive tannins. Malolactic fermentation follows these stages. The wine is then racked and aged in vats. The wine is aged with oak.

Elaboration: The grapes were destalked and lightly crushed into stainless steel tanks. Each grape variety and respective vineyard was fermented separately. The must was inoculated with Rhône yeasts and pump-overs were done up to 4 times a day during fermentation. After alcoholic fermentation, the wines were racked to tanks and barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine was then matured in both tanks and barrels prior to blending, stabilization and bottling.
