in the cellar : 

The grapes were de-stemmed and only lightly pressed. A portion was taken directly from the press without settling and the balance was settled overnight. Spontaneous fermentation was done at low temperatures. A portion of the wine was fermented in tank and was kept on the lees for six months. The balance was fermented in a combination of 225 litre and 500 litre French oak barrels. The wine was aged for seven months in barrel after which it was racked, blended and lightly fined. Only a coarse filtration was done prior to bottling.
