Harvest & Vinification
The Chardonnays are slowly pressed and after 24 hours of settling, the juice is then transferred to barrels with the fine lees and no sulfur is used. Primary and malolactic fermentation commences in the cellar, always with native yeast, after which the wines keep on maturing in 228-liter barrels (10% new) on the lees until the next harvest, battonage is used only when necessary. At that point, they complete their aging in barrels or in tanks, depending on the vintage and appellation, for another six to twelve months.
