Treatment in the cellar

On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were first subjected to a 3-day cold swelling phase, during which the cap was immersed three times a day to extract maximum colour and aromas. The mash was then fermented at controlled 24-26˚C in stainless steel tanks. After the completion of both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the five grape varieties of the cuvée were blended and matured for 24 months in French barriques with a capacity of 225 litres per barrel and then for a further 12 months in a 3000-litre foudre of French oak. Before the wine is released, the Arnoldus matured for another 24 months in the bottle.
