ageing : Enjoy within 2 to 4 years of vintage.

Average age of vines: 10 years
Type of soil: Alluvial
about the harvest: Selected blocks are harvested by hand when sugar reached 26° Balling.
in the cellar : All cultivars were produced separately. After crushing and destalking, the pulp is pumped directly into rotor tanks, where skin contact is given through cold soaking for 24 hours. Pulp is inoculated with active dry yeast and fermentation took place at about 25° to 27° C. Colour and flavour were extracted from the skins through rotation of tanks during fermentation. After natural malolactic fermentation Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz were matured on French MT+ oak for 5months, and blended with unwooded Mourvedere before bottling.
