about the harvest: Harvest early in the morning in February 2007.

in the cellar : After early morning harvest cool grapes are brought into the cellar and then undergo skin contact/cold maceration, for 3 to 4 days to extract soft tannins and ripe fruit flavours before allowing fermentation to begin. Throughout vinification handling was kept to a minimum to ensure that true fruit flavours were retained. The wine was matured in medium toasted French Oak for 9 months.
