The grapes are picked by hand when very ripe.
After pneumatic pressing, the juice is transferred partly into a 450-litre oak barrel and party into a stainless steel tank to undergo its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
Once fermentation is complete, the wine is generally aged for 8 to 10 months with bâtonnage (stirring of the lees).
