Vinification
Gently pressed pneumatically, the juice is decanted for up to 24 hours. After a month of cool fermentation (peaking at around 16 °C) using indigenous yeasts, the base wine is bottled and undergoes a traditional second fermentation in the bottle. It then matures on the lees for a minimum of 18 months, followed by riddling and disgorgement. The wine is then matured in bottle for a further 3 months before release.
