about the harvest: Grapes were handpicked in the early morning of each of the 7 days of picking so as to capture the subtle primary flavours that the variety offers.

in the cellar : Every batch from each of the morning picks as well as those of the individual parcels were kept separate in the cell ar so as to aid quality selection when it cape to assembling the final blend.
