about the harvest: After early morning harvest in February 2003, the cool grapes are brought into the cellar.

in the cellar : The grapes underwent skin contact cold maceration, for 3 to 4 days to extract soft tannins and ripe fruit flavours before allowing fermentation to begin. Throughout vinification handling was kept to a minimum to ensure that true fruit flavours were retained. The wine was matured in medium toasted French Oak for 9 months.
