ageing : Best enjoyed within 6 years, although further ageing can yield a beautifully complex and interesting wine.

in the vineyard : The fruit is from both younger vines, that drive the fruit profile, and low yielding older vineyards that provide a very finely structured backbone. These vines have been planted in sandy clay-loam soils.

about the harvest: Fruit is picked at various stages of ripeness to create a layered and complex flavour profile.

in the cellar : Fermentation takes place in a selection of new French oak barrels for 3 months. Thereafter, aging on the lees for 4 months further contributes to the full-bodied nature and creamy texture of this wine.
