Grape harvest
Manual harvest (third decade of September, selection of the best bunches exposed to the sun).
Vinification
After a period of natural over-ripening in the fruit cellar of between 90 and 110 days, pressing takes place in 50 hl truncated oak barrels. Fermentation (where the must is in contact with the skins for 30-40 days) takes place without the addition of yeast thanks to the integrity of the grapes.
Maturation
Matured in 350-litre barriques and then in the bottle.
Service
Serve at a temperature of 18°-20°. Uncork at least two hours before serving.
Pairings
It goes well with robust dishes such as game or roasts, very mature chese, but is also an excellent meditation wine.
