about the harvest: Date of Harvest:February / March 2006
Type of Harvest: Only grapes of exceptional quality are selected and sorted in vineyard leaving all rotten and sun-burnt berries on the vines.

in the cellar : At the cellar the grapes go through another selection process before de-stemming. No crushing of the berries takes place and fermentation starts naturally after 3-4 days of cold-soaking at 15°C. The grapes are left on the skins for 25-35 days to create velvety smooth tannins. The wine is lightly pressed and then matured in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
