Grapes were specially selected and harvested by hand and the vineyard yield was very low at 4-6 Tons / ha. To achieve a more intense concentration 30% of the juice was bled off before natural fermentation in open 500L barrels. During this process skins were punched down 4-6 times per day. After completion of alcoholic fermentation, further skin contact was allowed for an average of 22 days. Matured in 70% new 225l French oak barrels for 24 months
