about the harvest: The grapes were hand-picked from mid-February through to March 2018. The season had less rainfall with a cooler ripening period enabling even development of smaller, concentrated berries.

in the cellar : Fermentation, followed by extended skin contact, occurred in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs for gentle extraction of colour and flavour from the skins. Thereafter, selected tanks completed malolactic fermentation in new barrels and the remainder in stainless steel, followed by barrel maturation. Matured for 18 months in 225L French oak barrels of which 30% was new wood and the remainder second and third fill barrels.
