in the vineyard : A lot of attention is paid to detail in the vineyards regarding canopy management.
about the harvest: Harvested from mature and trellised vines at a ripeness of 25°B. Harvesting was done early in the morning by hand, followed by rigorous berry sorting.
in the cellar : Wine was fermented dry on the skins with VR5 and NT112 yeast strains. Free-run and press wine was kept separate in small French oak barrels, 50% new, for malo-lactic fermentation and ageing. Batch blending was done after eight months and the blends returned to barrel for an additional two months.
