Harvest
The Merlot is usually harvested in the first half of September, before the

Wine making
The varieties are harvested separately to obtain the right maturation of the
grapes. The grapes, once they reach the cellar, are gently pressed then
fermented separately at a max temperature of 28°C in steel containers.
They’re fermented in the same containers through malolactic fermentation.
Following, they’re carefully blended by following a sensible quality
selection. The blend is aged at least three months more in the bottle.
