Vines treated without insecticides of pesticides, the number of treatments are restrained according to the weather conditions. Manual harvest, and in the cave, rigorous sorting, pressing, and partial destemming occur. Fermentation of the skins “en cuves ouvertes" for approximately 3 weeks with controlling of the temperatures, regular pigeage and remontage. Malolactic fermentation in barrels with native yeast. Aged 18 months in barrels.
