in the vineyard : 2012 was a mild year resulting in grapes of rich concerntration and dense flavours.

about the harvest: Harvested: Hand-picked in mid February to end of March 2012

in the cellar : Small batches of hand-picked grapes from different varietals were chosen and specifically blended for balance and complexity. Primary fermentation took place on the skins for 2 to 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks. 70% then underwent maturation in French and American oak barrels for 15 months to ensure complete integration of wood with the intrinsic fruit character. The remaining 30% component of the blend was left unwooded for added vibrancy.
