Harvested manually in early September, this wine undergoes short prefermentative maceration on the skins for 48 hours, followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place in concrete barrels on the fine lees with periodic stirring (batonnage), natural clearing through decantation, and no filtration. The wine matures in the bottle for at least 6 months before release.

It is best served at 56-60°F / 8-10°C for optimal enjoyment.
