in the vineyard : The vineyards are planted in north-west facing blocks on the lower reaches of the farm as well as within view of the sea, in sandy, gravelly and highly weathered soils with a clay substructure. The vines are trellised on a 5-wire hedge system and pest and disease control is managed according to the IPW rules and standards. Stand-by irrigation is adopted.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand between 23.5° - 25° B, from one vineyard with a yield of 8 tons per hectare.
in the cellar : 
The juice was pumped over every three hours for 25 minutes at a time. On completion of fermentation, the wine spent a further three days on the skins for optimal colour and flavour extraction. The free-run juice was then drained off and the skins pressed gently. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally. The wine was transferred into small new French oak, where it spent 18 months. After racking, the wine was given an egg white fining and gentle filtration before bottling.
