Age of the vines: 30 years on average.

Vinification: The grapes were hand harvested, de-stemmed and lightly crushed before being transferred to tank. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at low temperatures (25˚C) in order to retain fresh fruit aromas and extraction is achieved by daily, gentle pumpovers. The Grenache did its malolactic fermentation and further ageing on fine lees during eight months in tank whilst the Syrah was racked into older 500 litre demi-muids and 228 litre barrels for its malolactic fermentation and aging for the same period.
