The grapes are harvested in the first week of August. Once collected, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 68°F. It is then partly racked into medium-toasted oak tonneaux, where it continues to ferment for nearly 20 days. This long maturation on the lees is followed by a few months of aging in bottle.
