Elaboration
A manual selection of grapes at their optimum point of ripeness. Once in the winery, the grapes are cold macerated for 6 – 8 hours to create more structure of flavour to the finished wine.

The wine is regularly tasted to assess its flavour evolution, until we decide on the optimum moment to rack it and bottle it.
