The grapes were machine harvested early morning in late February 2008, at 12.3 baume. At the winery, the grapes were crushed, de-stemmed and transferred into stainless steel open fermenters, where they underwent controlled fermentation with a selected yeast culture. Plunging of the fermenting grapes took place 3 times daily. The grapes were then pressed with the wine settling in a tank for 4 days, before transferral into old barriques for 10 months maturation. In January, the wine was removed from barrels, filtered and ultimately bottled.
