    Vinification:

    The two varieties are vinified differently. The Syrah ferments for 18-20 days with natural yeasts and a submerged cap, which is broken up at the beginning of fermentation. For the fermentation of Petit Verdot, yeasts are used that enable the highest possible yield of tannins and poliphenols through the regular submersion of the cap. After careful racking of the young wines, which are not pumped but moved by gravity alone, the wines are placed separately in barriques.
