Manual harvesting in small crates prevents oxidation. This is followed by a long vinification of 30-35 days with daily immersion of the raspberry hat (a method called pigéage, which gives the wine structure and the possibility of long maturation) in order to release the dye and tannins from the skins. The wine matured in French barriques for 22 months.
