in the vineyard : The grapes come from a selected vineyard on the farm itself.

in the cellar :

After harvesting, sorting and cooling the grapes were crushed and then put in the red wine fermenters and a cold soak done at 7 °C for 4 days. After inoculation with yeast the pump overs started to extract the colour and flavours. The finished wine underwent MLF in barrel and further maturation for 15 months prior to bottling.

The wine was matured in 5 % American Oak and the rest all French Oak – 55 % of the barrels were new.
