Vinification
In 2023 the fruit was crushed and destalked prior to ±4 hours of skin contact. After a light pressing in pneumatic bag presses the juice was settled overnight before being racked to barrels. MLF was prevented to retain freshness. After natural fermentation the wine remained in barrel for 10 months with regular batonage (stirring of lees). 40% of the barrels were new French oak and the balance 2nd and 3rd fill. Finally, after stabilization, the wine was bottled in December.
