Terroir

Age of the vines: 60-90 years
Yield: 30 hl/ha
Vinification
100% hand harvest with thorough sorting upon arrival at the winery.

Maceration and alcoholic fermentation take place at controlled temperatures.
The cap is punched down regularly. Maceration lasts 12 to 18 days.
The wine is made with no adjunction of sulphites.
