Grapes were hand picked on September 17th from a small 0.375 hectares parcel.  They were hand sorted, lightly pressed and settled for 24 to 36 hours before being transferred to barrels for fermentation. The latter occurred spontaneously using indigenous yeast. Malolactic fermentation followed before barrel ageing using 10% new oak. The wine was later racked, fined and filtered before being bottled on July 17th 2015.
