AWARDS

2023 Red Blends Challenge - Gold

ageing : Although impressive when young, it should reach a prime at 10 - 15 years.

about the harvest: At harvesting grapes undergo both bunch selection as well as manual sortation of each berry.

in the cellar : Grapes are soft crushed and fermented in a selection of stainless steel, concrete and wood fermenters for 1222 days on the skins, with frequent pumping of wine over the cap. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during 18 months of maturation in 228ℓ French oak barrels, 45% of which are new oak. The batches are blended before bottling to capture the unique aspects of each variety and to enhance the complexity of the wine.
