Vinification
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir clusters are hand-picked into shallow boxes, then the two types of grapes are gently crushed separately. After fermentation the wine is drawn off the gross lees and the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are blended together. The wine is then stored in steel tanks and bottled the following spring, and cultured yeasts added.
After at least 36/48 months on the lees, the bottles are manually riddled, and the wine is disgorged and bottled.
