in the cellar : Skins and juice are fermented together and mixed four times per day to ensure maximum colour and flavour is extracted. Pressing of the skins starts when the tannin fruit balance is optimal. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks on different dosages of French oak staves. On completion of malo, the wine is racked, sulphured and the same staves added again. In total the wine spends six months on oak staves.
