Harvest
Harvested in the morning to take advantage of the sea freshness. Picked by hand and placed into crates.

Vinification is carried out by the pressing of whole bunches. After a light settling at 12C for 24 hours, the wine goes into demi-muid barrels. Alcoholic fermentation lasts several weeks.
