Fermented in small stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts at temperatures up to 28 °C. The wine is run off the skins directly into barrel, with a short post-fermentation maceration of two days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel, followed by 24 months of ageing in fine-grain French oak with one racking. The wine then rests for a further nine months in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. No stabilization is applied.
