about the harvest: All grapes were hand picked.

in the cellar : Grapes were sorted and crushed to stainless steel tanks. Cold soaking for 4 days before a pure yeast culture (BM 45 and NT50) was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day and punched down for 5 days during fermentation, for optimal color, tannin and flavor extraction. Once fermentation was complete, after about two weeks, the wine was drained of the skins and transferred to a resting tank, the skins were gently pressed in a pneumatic bladder press. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 300 litre barrels of French oak for 12 months in a combination of new second, third and fourth fill barrels. A coarse filter is used before bottling.
