Hand-harvested grapes are destemmed into an open-top fermenter with 30% whole bunch. Cold maceration lasts for 2–3 days for colour and soft, supple tannin extraction. The wine undergoes a beautiful wild yeast fermentation and is kept on the skins after fermentation for extended skin contact. Thereafter, it is pressed and aged in a selection of 500 L and 300 L old French oak barrels for nine months.
