about the harvest: The grapes for this delicious blend, were handpicked and transported to the cellar in small lug boxes.

in the cellar : On arrival at the winery, the bunches underwent sorting on a vibrating table, followed by destemming, then further handsorting to remove any remaining stems. This attention to detail ensured that only the highest quality berries were lightly crushed into a satellite tank which was hoisted and opened above a stainless steel fermentation tank. Inoculation with a French yeast was made after a three day cold soak. Fermentation was slow and gentle.
