Handpicked grapes are destemmed and fermented in open vats. The maceration lasts until the fermentation is complete. Fermented juice is transferred manually using buckets to used Burgundy oak barrels and aged for about a year. Then it is manually bottled in small batches without filtration, fining or addition of sulfur.
