Fermentation took place in stainless Ganimede fermenters for eight days between 25 to 28°C. Each parcel was pressed at 0.5 Baume through a bag press into stainless steel tanks.

A barrel selection took the place of the best parcels, blending over several days, ultimately arriving in this rich, spicy, and complex blend.
