Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for the Amphitheatre were hand-picked at optimal ripeness and vinified separately. The fermentation process took place in an extremely gentle and natural way in open fermenters and with the help of traditional methods. Once fermentation was complete, the wines were blended and the cuvée aged for 19 months in a combination of first, second and third fill French oak barrels before being bottled by hand without filtering. Before release, the wine matured in bottle in Keermont's cellar for a further five years to ensure perfect integration and maturity.
