about the harvest:

The winemaking (winemaker: Justin Corrans)
The grapes were harvested by hand at 24Âº/25Âº Balling during February.

in the cellar :

Part of the wine was fermented for four days on the skins to preserve fruitiness, 35 % of the grapes fermented until dryness on the skins to extract colour and to give the wine good structure. After Mollactic fermentation the wine is matured on a combination of French and American oak staves to add spice and complexity.
