It is produced with 100% Chardonnay, cultivated in vinayards located around the estate and south-oriented, with soils mainly composed by marls. After the manual harvest, tha grapes are places in the pneumatic press machinery. The must is then poured in oak barrels that contain between 225-500 liters.
