Vinification Method The grapes were hand-harvested during the last week of August and first week of September, foot-trodden whole cluster and skin macerated for 6 hours before being racked into one 500L used chestnut cask. The wine fermented and aged on its lees for 10 months, with weekly battonage for the first 3 months. Bottled without stabilization or clarification, and with only a gentle mechanical filtration and small addition of SO2. The wine aged an additional 9-10 months in bottle before release.</p>
