| Harvest | Grapes from old vineyards were hand-picked at optimal ripeness to ensure ripe tannins. Only healthy fruit was used. |
| Wine making | After crushing and destemming, the grapes were inoculated and fermentation took place at an average of 28 °C. After regular pumping over, it was pressed shortly before drying and completed malolactic fermentation in tanks before being racked into French oak barrels. 20% of the oak was new and the wine remained in wood for 12 months before being prepared for bottling. |
