The wine is produced by 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon, who picked grapes for grape in waves. The berries are pressed in vertical press, and fermented in a constant temperature of 20 degrees. Fermentation is carried on for three to five weeks, and then the wine is stored in new barrels for three years.
