Grapes are hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity. Soft de-stemming and
crushing is followed by fermentation at controlled temperature (23-28°C) in
stainless steel tanks. Wine is fermented using the cultural yeast strains. Skin
and cap management is performed by délestage and remontage. After 5-7 days of
maceration, when usually the desired level of residual sugar is reached,
fermentation is stopped by cooling, in order to retain the natural sweetness
and freshness of the wine. Afterwards, until the bottling, wine is kept cold at
around 0°C.
