about the harvest:

The winemaking (winemaker: Justin Corrans)

The grapes were harvested between 23-24Â° Balling in the beginning of February.

in the cellar : This wine was made in a medium to full-bodied style for early enjoyment. It was fermented for four days on the skins to preserve as much fruit as possible and extract enough colour without the full-bodied tannins. The wine was matured on French oak staves for nine months to add spice and complexity.
