ageing : Drink now, or age for another two years.
in the vineyard : The vines were pruned to two-bud spurs during July and August. Shoots were removed during October, leaving only two to three shoots per hand-spaced spur. Yields were naturally low, therefore no bunch removal was necessary.
in the cellar : After light pressing, 50% of the Chenin was fermented on partial solids at 20°C; the rest underwent clean and cold fermentation at 14°C in stainless steel. The wine was left on the fine lees for complexity and integration. The two varietal wines were blended prior to bottling.
