The grapes were harvested at from mid February to early March between 23 - 24º Balling.
After crushing and pressing, the juice was clarified before it was racked and fermented in tanks down to about 18o Balling. It was then transferred into barrels and fermented in 60% French oak, 10% American oak and 30% staves. The wine was aged in wood on the lees for 4 months with battonage (lees stirring) every second week to enhance the flavour and mouth feel.
