VINIFICATION AND AGEING 
The grapes are harvested manually in small 16 kg crates and are destemmed. Maceration takes place for 6-8 hours allowing a slight extraction of colour from the skins. After soft pressing of the whole grapes, with 50% extraction of firstpressing must, settling takes place for 12 hours at 16°C. Alcoholic fermentation proceeds for about 12 days at 18°C. At the end of this period, the wine matures in stainless steel until the following July after harvest. The second fermentation and ageing sur lies in the bottle extend for at least 36 months, followed by 2 months after disgorgement.
