The grapes are hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and crushed. Before being placed in the tank, they are allowed to macerate for eight hours. The juice is inoculated by a pied de cuve that was initiated in the grapevine, and natural yeasts are used for fermentation. The wine is put to used oak barrels where it continues to ferment until it is dry after the fermentation has reached its peak. After fermentation, the wine is racked into 400- and 500-liter French oak barrels, where it rests for seven months before being bottled with a minor amount of SO2. This wine is fantastic and one of the nicest examples of Colombard we've ever had. Far from the "Ordinary" reputation the grape is frequently given.
