Vineyard and Climate Conditions
12-17 year old vines were planted on a vertical trellis system, allowing for easy foliage management, controlling the exposure of the grapes to sunlight and encourage even ripening. These regions are situated 15 – 55 km from the cold Atlantic ocean with average temperatures of 8-19°C during winter and 13-29°C during summer. The average annual rainfall is 450mm.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested from chosen vineyard blocks at 25.7° Balling.

in the cellar : After harvesting the grapes were soaked for 2 - 3 days at 13 - 14°C. Following fermentation in stainless steel tanks, chosen wines underwent malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine matured in a combination of French- and American oak, with only the finest barrels chosen for blending and bottling.
