The grapes are harvested separately at peak ripeness. This process involves rigorous selection to ensure only the finest grapes are selected. These grapes are transported directly to the winery for sorting.

Aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, half new and half neutral, contributes to the wine's richness and complexity.
