in the vineyard : Combination of decomposed granite and sandstone. Trellised vines between 8- to 20-years-old, grown in varied climates between 20 and 100km from the cold Atlantic Ocean allows the winemaker to make different styles of wine from the same grape, blending these together for a more complex taste.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness.

in the cellar : Grapes were de-stemmed and crushed to stainless-steel tanks. The use of cultured and natural yeast helps to unlock the fragrant fruit profile of the grapes. After fermentation, 20% of the wine was matured in French-oak barrels for 8 to 10 months; the remainder matured in stainless-steel tanks with French-oak staves to complement the wine’s flavour profile and length.
