Vineyard Management
Vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs and shoots were removed, leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. After veraison, small bunches and under-developed shoots were removed for better flavour concentration in the berries.
about the harvest: Cool nights during the ripening period ensured the development of complex fruit flavours in the wine. The grapes were hand-picked during the day at an average sugar content of 23.6° Balling and natural acidity of 7.0 g/l before being carefully transported to the cellar in small bins.
in the cellar : The grapes were crushed, pressed and the juice cold-settled for two days, with juice extraction averaging 615 litres per ton. The juice was then inoculated to initiate fermentation which takes place at 14 - 16°C. Following fermentation the cultivars were blended allowing the varietal character of each variety to enhance the complexity and depth of the blend.
