The Viognier and Harlevelu was whole bunch pressed and juice was extracted in an oxidative way. Meaning no sulphur and optimal exposure to aeration. From here the juice went directly to older barrels for natural fermentation. The Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc components were bunch sorted, destemmed and crush. Juice was settled for 24 hours where after the clean juice was racked. Inoculated with non-accharomyces yeast and allowed fermentation to commence.
