Vinifikation
Due to a prolonged drought, possibly the worst in a century, the 2018 harvest season was particularly challenging. The dry weather, which persisted throughout the season, had some positive effects, namely that the vines were in better health with less or no pests and diseases. Due to the stress caused by the lack of water, the berries were significantly smaller than usual, resulting in a reduced harvest. Smaller berries offer higher color and flavor intensity, and the 2018 vintage is expected to be of high quality due to the milder temperatures during harvest. The grapes are hand-picked, packed into small crates, and transported to the winery in a refrigerated truck. The whole berries are double-sorted in the cellar before being gravity-fed into wooden fermentation tanks. Each batch undergoes a few days of cold maceration and then is gradually brought to temperature, where fermentation occurs naturally. After fermentation, extended maceration on the skins. The wine was aged for 24 months in 50% new French oak before being bottled unfiltered and aged for three years in the bottle.
