ageing : The wine was matured in 90% French oak and 10% American barrels for 10 months. 50% new oak and 50% first fill barrels.

in the vineyard : Grapes were again very healthy, mainly attributed to the constant south easterly winds during the ripening period and our sound organic practices. The berries were small due to well managed irrigation practices and rocky soils.

about the harvest: Grapes were handpicked at full phenolic ripeness to preserve the terroir in the fruit. Great efforts were made to measure phenolic ripeness and to compare it with previous harvest.
