In the vineyard
Trellised vines aged between 14 and 20 years received supplementary irrigation and produced 10 to 14 tonnes per hectare. Mediterranean climate, with the temperatures lowered by the cooling effect of prevailing winds and sea breezes.
Ageing
The grapes were machine-harvested in the cool, early morning, gently pressed and only the best juice was fermented in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine spent a few months on lees to bring complexity, before clarification and bottling. Reductive winemaking techniques minimised oxidation to protect flavours.
