in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the coastal areas. The vines are grown in soils ranging from decomposed granite to deep red.

about the harvest: The winemaker works very closely with a team of viticulturists and he rigorously supervises pruning, suckering and canopy management for optimal crop yield. During the ripening season the grapes are tasted daily for ripeness and also chemically analysed to ensure they are picked when varietal flavours are most concentrated and there is a good balance between fruit and acid.The grapes were harvested by hand and machine. Each vineyard block was separately vinified.

in the cellar : In each case, the juice was fermented at between 24Â° and 26Â° C. The juice was left on the skins for five to seven days for maximum colour extraction. The skins were then removed, pressed and a small part of the pressed juice added back and fermentation was completed.
