Some of the Syrah is vinified in whole bunches. The maceration period is about 20 to 25 days. At the end of winter, 100% of the wine is transferred to new 225-litre barrels (French oak) for a period of 12 to 16 months in the magnificent Hospitalet cellar (2,000 barrels). The best barrels of each of the grape varieties are selected and blended to produce this cuvée.
