The grapes were entirely hand-picked, between daybreak and mid-morning. Reductive winemaking methods were applied in making the wine.  The grapes were gently crushed, followed by four hours of skin contact. After a cool, 2 week fermentation the wine spent four months on the primary lees, with a twice a month batonage. The wine was stabilized and filtered pre-bottling.

Grapes were handpicked in the early morning of each of the 7 days of picking so as to capture the subtle primary flavours that the variety offers. Every batch from each of the morning picks as well as those of the individual parcels were kept separate in the cellar so as to aid quality selection when it cape to assembling the final blend.
