Vinification
The harvested grapes were destemmed but not crushed, then selected by an optical sorting machine and put in stainless steel tanks. A cold maceration below 7°C and without fermentation was started first in order to concentrate the fruitiness during one week before fermentation. The fermented mash was pressed and the wine was put into mainly new 228 litre Hungarian barrels to be aged there for 10 months. During that period, the samples from the barrels were tasted but also classified regularly. The wines from the highest rated barrels were finally blended for this selection.
