Vinification All the Chardonnay grapes were whole cluster pressed, and the juice was cold-soaked for two days. Natural fermentation started in stainless steel tanks. After about 2°B of natural fermentation, selected yeast strains were added, and part of the juice was transferred to French oak barrels for the rest of the fermentation.
Ageing Still on its primary lees, the wine matured for 10 months in barrels: 12% in first passage barrels and the rest in second, third and fourth-fill barrels. During this period, the barrels underwent monthly bâtonnage to improve the wine's mouthfeel. The final blend comprises 70% Chardonnay fermented and matured in oak and 30% in stainless steel.
