Vinification
Manual harvest and selection of grapes, between early and mid-October. The ancient Cabernet Franc vineyard derives from a mass selection, where depending on the vintage the grapes are vinified together or separately. The Merlot comes from a high-intensity planting vineyard with a reduced load of grapes per plant. Once in the cellar, the bunches are destemmed and fermentation continues at a controlled temperature with periodic pumping over for approximately 20 days, a period corresponding to the duration of maceration on the skins. This is followed by 18 months of aging in French oak barriques with a third of new barrels. Bottle refinement for a minimum of 18 months before release on the market.
