in the cellar : After early morning harvest cool grapes are brought into the cellar and then undergo skin contact / cold maceration, for three to four days to extract soft tannins and ripe fruit flavours before allowing fermentation to begin. Throughout vinification handling was kept to a minimum to ensure that true fruit flavours were retained. This wine was matured in medium toasted new French Oak for twelve months.
