about the harvest: Grapes were harvested from chosen vineyard blocks at 25.7° Balling.

in the cellar : Cold soaked for 2 days at 10°C. Following fermentation in stainless steel tanks, wines from specific tanks were chosen to undergo malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine matured in a combination of French (70%) and American (30%) oak for 14 months, before individual barrels were chosen for blending.
