Mediterranean climate, with the temperatures lowered by the cooling effect of prevailing winds and sea breezes. WINEMAKINGGrapes were harvested early morning, gently crushed and lightly pressed at the cellar, where skin contact was allowed to create the perfect colour. Only the free run juice was drained off to settle overnight. The Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir were fermented together in stainless-steel tanks under controlled temperatures between 12º and 14°C.
