Vinification: The moment of the harvest of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon was chosen by seeking a balance between sugar concentration and maximum expression of grape fragrance. The bunches, manually picked, were immediately transferred to the cellar and cooled through a refrigerated conveyor which, by lowering its temperature before pressing, preserved their characteristics. After pressing, the must was kept for a few hours at a temperature of 10 °C to allow for natural clarification, then transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation, which occurred at temperatures not exceeding 16 °C. The wine was preserved at around 10 °C to prevent malolactic fermentation and maintain its organoleptic qualities. The two varieties were then combined to create the final blend.
