After the selective harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and temperature-controlled fermentation and aging. The wine is aged for 13 to 14 months, 40 to 50% of the vintage in used French oak barrels, the remaining must in stainless steel tanks. for 5 to 6 months the wine remains in the wooden barrels on the fine lees (sur lie). The end of the aging process takes place for the finished wine in small stainless steel tanks.
