ageing : Drink the wine now or leave it to still develop in character and style for up to 5 years.

in the vineyard : The vines are trellised on a 5-wire hedge system, and have an average yield of 6t/ha. Combinations of premium blocks (age between 4 - 10 years, and the other older than 20 years) were used to get a multi-flavoured combination. The vines are grafted on 101-14 Mgt and planted on loamy sand.

in the cellar : Grapes were selected from low-bearing vineyards, crushed and inoculated with selected yeast. Fermentation took place
between 25 - 28Â°C. It was fermented dry on the skins and allowed a further 3 weeks maceration prior to pressing and aging in French oak barrels.
