Vinifikation
The grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in 20kg stackable crates. Destemming and gentle crushing directly into small open 2-ton fermentation tanks. Spontaneous natural yeast fermentation at a maximum of 30°C with manual punch downs of the cap. The wine is racked directly into barrels, along with the single pressing from the traditional basket press. Malolactic fermentation took place in wooden barrels made of 30% new French oak. The Merlot was aged in these for 19 months, including several rackings for gradual clarification of the wine and to aid maturation. The wine was bottled unfiltered and hand-labeled on the estate.
