Vinification and aging: Alcoholic fermentation carried out in stainless steel vats with a controlled temperature maintained around 27-28°C, without resorting to the selection of external yeasts. The macerations of this vintage were carried out for approximately 14-16 days for the Merlot grapes and approximately 16-18 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with frequent pumping over in the open air and délestage which allowed for balanced musts to be obtained. The malolactic fermentations also took place in steel gradually and slowly, giving the musts great finesse and balance.
The aging takes place in 225 liter barriques made of partly French oak and a small part (5%) of American oak for a period of 15 months. Use of 40% new wood, 40% second pass wood and 20% third and fourth pass wood in equal shares.
Subsequent refinement for three months in glass before marketing.
