Both components were pressed off, blended together, then returned gently into amphorae for four months for further aging and to undergo malolactic fermentation naturally. The amphorae were then racked gently into a small stainless steel vessel to clarify naturally for two weeks prior to bottling. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining or filtration and without any added sulphur.
