Clay, limestone and gravels – the vineyards are farmed according to sustainable agriculture. Mechanical harvest at night in order to avoid premature oxidation.

Only the first presses are reincorporated into the wine. 50% of the blend is aged in new oak barrel for 7 months. The other 50% are matured stainless steel vats. After taking the wine off the barrels we have aged it for a further 2 months in vats prior to bottling.
