in the cellar :

A sorting process in the vineyards ensured that only grapes of exceptional quality were selected, leaving sun-burnt berries on the vines. Once de-stemmed, the berries underwent a second sorting which further removed excess stems, raisin berries and leaves.

No crushing of the berries took place and fermentation started naturally after 3-4 days of cold soaking at 15 degrees Celsius. The grapes were left on the skins for 35 - 40 days. This extended maturation combined with regular punch-downs & pump-overs ensured a velvety smooth tannin structure. Finally the wine was lightly pressed and matured for 18 months in 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd fill French oak barrels.

The wine was bottled end November 2013.
