about the harvest: Grapes for this particular wine were handpicked at 25° Balling from selected clones of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.

in the cellar : After destalking and the addition of selected yeasts, the juice, together with the skins were allowed to ferment in closed combi stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 25º and 28ºC. During the process the juice was regularly run over the skins to optimise flavour and colour extraction. At 5ºB, juice was drained from the skins and any juice remaining in the skins recovered with the use of a gentle tank press. After allowing for malolactic fermentation the wine was racked from the lees and transferred to 225 litre new French oak barrels for maturation.
