The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness and, on arrival at the cellar, were kept overnight in cold storage. The following morning, the grapes were completely destemmed, using a combination of dry ice and sulfur to prevent oxidation of the delicate fruit aromas. The crushed berries were then pumped into a pneumatic air press, which was closed overnight (6-12 hours of contact on the skin). The next day, the free-run juice as well as the press juice were separately drained from the press and also separately transferred to stainless steel tanks where fermentation began with the addition of selected yeast strands. During fermentation, the fermenting musts were transferred to French oak barrels with a capacity of 400 liters per barrel (35% new wood and 65% older barrels), only a small part of the wine completed the fermentation in steel tanks, in order to obtain a nice freshness in the wine later. After completing fermentation, the wines spent six months in barrel on the fine lees and then blended with the component aged in steel and bottled.
