Soil: Soils consisting of a thin layer that cover fractured/shattered limestone.

Vinification: After being handpicked, the harvest is sorted and fully destemmed. It is then vatted for maceration and fermentation for approximately 15 to 20 days. The process of pressing is carried out by pneumatic presses that press the grapes slowly and gently. The juice is then allowed to settle and placed by gravity in French oak barrels
