about the harvest: The grapes for this wine were picked at optimal ripeness, between 22 and 23 degrees Balling.

in the cellar : After being whole-berry crushed and gently pressed, the juice was cold fermented between 14 and 15 degrees Celsius in stainless steel to preserve the fresh, delicate characters of the fruit. The wine received extended lees contact for 4 months prior to bottling, thus ensuring optimum flavour extraction.
Production: 3400 cases (6 x 750 ml)
