in the cellar : Superb, ripe fruit from chosen vineyards was hand-picked and sorted before being crushed and de-stemmed. Primary fermentation took place in stainless steel, using traditional vinification techniques and minimal interference from the winemaking team. Malolactic fermentation resulted in complete and seamless oak integration with the fruit. Maturation was completed after 16 months in barrel and was followed by egg white fining and no filtration. The wine might throw a slight deposit which is entirely natural.
