Vineyard & Production

Prior to crushing, grapes were hand-selected on the sorting table to ensure only the purest fruit was used. After crushing and three days of cold soaking, the grapes were inoculated with yeast. During fermentation, the juice was regularly punched down and pumped over for maximum colour and flavour extraction. Extended skin contact was given before maturation took place in 100% new French oak barrels for 22 months. As a result of years of experimentation, this wine was aged in oak that has been seasoned for 36 months.
