Winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested and each bunch was carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit was used. During fermentation, gentle pigeage was undertaken in order to avoid over extraction. The juice was fermented at 26°C using indigenous yeasts which granted freshness and vibrancy. The wine was then aged for 18 months with 75% in 3500 litre untoasted French oak fourdres and 25% in concrete pools. After this, it was aged for a further 12 months in bottle prior to release.
