Available from 1 July 2018
in the vineyard : Grapes of trellised vineyards between the age of eleven and nineteen years were harvested by hand on the Vera Cruz property.
in the cellar : The grapes were destalked and lightly crushed before fermentation took place in upright tanks. The juice was allowed to start natural fermentation at low temperatures and after a day inoculated with a selected commercial yeast strain. Temperature during fermentation was carefully controlled between 24° - 26° C with pump overs being done three times per day. The must was drained before fermentation was completed and allowed to finish fermentation in tank. The wine spent 15 months in a combination of large oak vats and barrels, of which 17% were new oak.
