These wines mature for 18 months in mostly new oak, with a bit of older barrels for softness and suppleness. The selected barrels were blended together, bottled after a short settling time and bottle aged for another 6 months. This wine was not filtered, only gently racked.

Post Blending Treatment
The final product is a result of only the highest quality wines blended together, with each component bringing its own character to the final wine.
