Winemaking:The grapes were harvested by grape variety and plot, and were subject to rigorous quality controls. After destemming and soft-crushing, the grapes were directed via gravity to small stainless steel tanks with temperature controls, where they were vinified by variety. Alcoholic fermentation took place for a period of roughly 8 days at an average temperature of 27ºC. 40% of the wine aged for 6 months in 225 litre barrels of used French oak, with the remainder resting in stainless steel tanks. After ageing, the wine was subject to light fining and filtration prior to bottling. It was subsequently bottled without cold stabilisation treatment and, thus, a natural deposit may form in the bottle over time.
