about the harvest: Grapes were handpicked in small table grape baskets at optimum ripeness.

in the cellar : Thorough berry sorting just after destalking was done before the berries were gently crushed into a stainless Steele fermentation tank. Cold soaking/maturation at 8 degrees Celsius commenced and fermentation was introduced on day four. Regular punch downs and gentle pump over took on a daily routine dependant on the extraction rate until the wine was fermented dry on the skins at a temperature of 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. Wine was then transferred to new French and American oak to undergo malolactic fermentation in barrel. Lees contact was allowed until three month after the completion of malolactic; wine was racked and was returned to the same original barrels for another nine months of maturation. Wine was carefully fined before bottling and kept in bottle for 6 months.
