Vinification
The grapes for this cuvée have been carefully selected from the lower parts of the vineyard. 20% of the crop was whole bunches that was crushed by feet straight away and 80% was gently de-stemmed. During the fermented in open vats for 10 days the cap was gently punched down by hand and feet twice a day for a moderate extraction. Transferred by gravity to stainless steel tanks where it stays on the lees for 10 month. Bottled unfined, unfiltered without the addition of SO2
