Vinification details
The grapes were harvested separately at sugar levels of 22 and 23° from different blocks. After crushing, the grapes were cold macerated for three days before fermentation started. A combination of pump-overs and punch-downs followed to ensure optimum colour and flavour extraction from the skins. The wine matured for 12 months in third and fourth fill French oak barrels before racking.
