| Harvest | Second and third decade of September. The grapes from 8 different vineyards are hand-picked into small crates and promptly codified and cooled in cold rooms. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from our exclusive 'bunch spa'. A special system of washing and hydromassage of the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a system for complete drying. |
| Wine making | Maceration in contact with the skins lasted 21 days for the Merlot and Carménère, 22 days for the Cabernet Franc and 20 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration were conducted with careful temperature management and punching-down. Pumpovers were carried out daily, using a pair of elevating tanks into which the wine, tapped from the bottom of the vat, was transferred by gravity. The wine, brought up by the flying tanks, is poured into the vat, at high flow rate, to submerge the 'cap'. |
| Aging | In wood and steel for about 21 months. The wine is then bottled naturally by gravity. Thanks to innovative 'long tube' taps, the wine rises from the bottom of the bottle without rolling, without shaking and does not suffer any oxidative shock. |
