The grapes were fermented in open, stainless steel tanks. Pumpovers were done twice daily to extract optimum fruit flavors and tannin. After primary alcoholic fermentation, the wines underwent malolactic fermentation followed by 15 months aging in second and third fill French oak barrels to retain the delicate fruit flavors of the wine.
