After alcoholic fermentation the wine was racked and underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks after which it was filtered to tanks and barrels (90% second and third fill barrels and 10% new American oak barrels). The three batches were blended in late November 2002 and bottled early January 2003.
