Plunged by hand or by foot in the gentlest way possible, the grapes are accompanied through the process by delicate plunging and sometimes pumps over. In these conditions, 10/15 days of maceration are sufficient for a full extraction of the aromas and quality tannis. After racking, the wine is allowed to briefly settle. Then, thtough graviry, it enters lightly toasted Frenk oak barrels, 5% new, where it completes malolatic fermentation. |
| Ageing |
Racking follows natural rhythms with air compressed rather than pumps. Agter 12 months wine is assembled in cement vat for another 6 months before bottling. |
