- Vinification
- Destemmed and gently pressed without pressing the berries, so only the free-run flower must is used. First fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks, then almost 10 months of ageing; the Chardonnay rests almost 7 months in used French oak barrels. Second fermentation in bottle, then at least 80 months on the lees. Riddled by hand.
