Harvest: Selective harvest (handpicked) at end of August or beginning of September. After the grapes are harvested, they are sun-dried for 7 to 10 days depending on the weather conditions.

Vinification and ageing: After the sun-drying period, the grapes are sent into a pneumatic press and ferment in stainless steel tanks for another month. Following fermentation, the wine spends at least five years in oak barrels. After resting for a few months in the bottle, it is released in the market.
