AWARDS
John Platter Wine Guide 2015 - 4½ Stars
about the harvest: All grapes were hand picked.
in the cellar : Grapes were sorted before a pure yeast culture was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre barrels of
French and American oak types.
