in the cellar : The wine was matured for 14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, followed by 24 months in the bottle ahead of release.

The result is an elegant, food friendly, noble blend that is accessible upon release and with the capacity to improve and mature over the years.

The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with extended maceration. Wine was carefully blended and matured for 14 months in French oak barrels (25% new). The wine was bottle matured for a further 25 months before release.
