Technical Data
The year 2007 began with an unusually mild and dry winter, which led to an extremely early bud-break about 20 days sooner than normal. Summer was in the normal range, with temperatures never above average.
Even and well-distributed rainfall of average quantity during the growing season contributed to the development of the vines. During the month of July, a cooler period slowed the advance of phenological ripening. Despite this, by mid-September the grapes were already close to maturity. The harvest took place between 24 and 30 September.
In summary, it was a normal growing season, just 15-20 days advanced compared to the norm.
Harvest September 24-30.
Vinification
Each lot was vinified separately. After destemming and light crushing, must is "sealed" with CO2 for gentle warm maceration of approximately a day. Alcoholic fermentation begins about 24-36 hours later from native wild yeasts only.
Maceration: Gentle maceration in upright open-top steel tanks for the first 9-10 days of the alcoholic fermentation
Malolactic Fermentation: Immediately after alcoholic fermentation in French oak casks with a capacity of 500l (tonneaux).
