The grapes for this wine are from a small block in Elgin. It is a beautiful site on well-drained, granite soils. The vineyard was planted to a mix of Dijon clones.

about the harvest: All of the grapes were hand picked into small lug boxes.

Yield: 8 tons/hectare
Degrees Balling at harvest: 23.5° - 24.0°
Age of vines: 10 years
in the cellar : All of the grapes were cooled overnight before being carefully sorted and then crushed into small open tanks. The must was then cold-soaked for two days. About 5% of the wine was whole bunch fermented. Hand punch-downs were done throughout. After primary fermentation, the wine was basket-pressed and then racked to barrel for the malo-lactic fermentation and subsequent barrel maturation. Only French oak was used, primarily 2nd and 3rd and 4th-fill and a touch (about 10%) of new oak. After 10 months maturation, the wine was bottled with a light filtration.

Total production: 16 250 bottles
