about the harvest:

The grapes were harvested early morning at around 22˚ Balling.

in the cellar :

Only grapes of exceptional quality made it to the cellar, leaving all rotten and sun-burnt berries on the vines. Another manual selection process ensured that only the best grapes passed through the de-stemmer and crushing press. The wine was inoculated with ‘D47’ yeast and fermented in 225L third-fill (100%) French oak barrels for 8 months.
The barrels were rolled or stirred (battonage) regularly to suspend the lees in order to gain complexity and better oak flavour integration which add to the silky mid-palate. In advance of bottling, the wine was protein- and cold stabilized.
