in the vineyard : The grapes for this cool-climate wine were sourced from 15- to 20-year-old trellised vines grown on flat, cooler, east-facing slopes that help preserve fruit freshness. The rich, deep soils – decomposed granite with good water retention and moderate fertility – produced low, concentrated yields, adding complexity and structure to the wine’s tannins. Proximity to the cold Atlantic Ocean allows the fruit to ripen slowly, resulting in wines with well-balanced fruit and acidity.

about the harvest: Grapes are harvested by hand from selected vineyard blocks.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested by hand from selected vineyard blocks and destemmed and crushed to stainless-steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation was completed after 15 days on the skins. Free-run juice was barreled down for malolactic fermentation, with maturation taking place in French-oak barrels (20% first fill and the balance in second and third fill). The wine matured for 14 months before blending.
