Hand-harvested fruit is cooled overnight, then meticulously sorted before fermentation in stainless steel. A period of cold soak precedes spontaneous fermentation with regular pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel, followed by maturation for approximately 18 months in French oak (around 50% new).
