Vinification
On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes underwent a cold fermentation for two days at 10°C. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C, with regular open and closed pump overs performed. After 12 days, the wine underwent malolactic conversion. The wine was then aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months and spent a further three months ageing in bottle before release.
