in the cellar : The grapes were chilled overnight after which it was destemmed and crushed into a five-ton conical stainless steel fermentation tank. The mash was inoculated with a Bordeaux isolated yeast. The tank was punched down and pumped over alternately every three hours until alcoholic fermentation was complete, after which it was pressed. Free run and press wine was blended, following evaluation, and underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, after which it was racked and wood matured for 12 months using Flexcube and French oak staves.
