Additional Information

Winemaking
Grapes were hand-picked and de-stemmed but not crushed. The de-stemmed grapes were cooled to 8°C and ‘cold soaked’ for 168 hours. Fermentation took place at 25°C followed by a 42 day maceration on the skins. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine went into French oak barrels for 16 months.
