in the vineyard : Cooler dry conditions yielded healthy, elegant wines with lower alcohols and soft tannins. Shiraz and Merlot are especially promising.

about the harvest: 2006 was a long harvest and started later than usual.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed and transferred to fermentation tanks where they were pumped over regularly. After alcoholic fermentation the wine was racked and the skins gently pressed. The tanks were inoculated with malolactic bacteria to complete the secondary fermentation. After maturation of some months in tank, the wine was blended and sterile filtered prior to bottling.
