about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at sugar level of 24Â° - 25Â° B in March 2006.

in the cellar : After de-stalking and crushing the bunches, the grapes were pumped into stainless steel fermentation tanks and inoculated with a cultured yeast. Fermentation temperature was controlled at 28Â° - 30Â° C. After the grapes had fermented dry, they were pressed and the wine then underwent malo-lactic fermentation. After malo-lactic fermentation was complete, the wine was then matured in French oak barrels for 12 months. The wine is always a blend of at least 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance being Merlot.
