Harvested by hand from 25–50-year-old vines. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete tanks with 21–28 days of maceration and gentle extraction. Malolactic fermentation occurred in vats before blending. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels—one-third new—to enhance texture while preserving purity and freshness.
