in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from within 5 km of the cellar. The vines, grafted onto Richter 99 rootstock, grows in alluvial soils. Based on soil moisture levels, as measured by neutron hydrometers in the vineyards, controlled irrigation was applied. This practice ensures small berries with an excellent skin to fruit ratio providing an intense colour and flavour spectrum.
about the harvest: The grapes were sourced from both trellised vineyards and bush vines, and picked at 21° to 22° Balling. Early morning picking ensured the grapes reached the cellar fresh and cold.
in the cellar : The grapes were crushed and destemmed, whereafter the mash was pumped to an enclosed press enveloped in layers of dry ice. The winemakers allowed 12 hours of skin contact to ensure maximum extraction. The free-run juice was allowed to settle under reductive conditions. Fermentation started after inoculation with a selected yeast stain. After fermentation the wine was racked, fined, filtered and bottled.
