| Climate | The cooler, southern exposure is home to the most sensitive and aromatic white-skinned grape varieties, as in our Chenin Blanc Timepiece. Altitude: 195 m a.s.l. Exposure: South. |
| Soil composition | Decomposed granite and loam. |
| Wine making | The juice was fermented in a combination of oak barrels and clay amphorae. 51% of the juice was fermented in 228 litre French oak barrels and 49% in 400 litre clay amphorae over a period of 6 months. The amphora has the natural ability to keep the lees in constant suspension during fermentation. |
| Aging | Fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation in both amphora and barrels, and maturation took place "sur-lie" for 6 months with occasional "barrel rolling" to add richness to the palate. Six barrels were subjected to natural fermentation. No sulphide was added during vinification and only at final bottling. |
