in the vineyard : The cultivation of grapes for this wine complies strictly with organic standards and environmental sustainability. The vineyards, about 96% of which are trellised, lie south-facing, with rows running in an east/west direction. This arrangement affords the vines the disease-resisting and cooling benefits of the prevailing westerly breeze flowing inland from the Atlantic ocean. Day/night temperature differentiation enhances colour and creates slower ripening, resulting in better fruit retention and pronounced complexity.
in the cellar : To ensure good colour and soft tannin extraction, pump-overs and ample aeration are employed during alcoholic fermentation, with the rewards of complexity, length and a pleasant mouthfeel. Pump-overs are limited, to keep the wine intact and well balanced. The use of sulphur is minimized. Maturation of 12 months was in second- and third-fill 300-litre oak barrels - 90% French oak and 10% American oak.
