Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were sourced from certified historic vineyards and were hand harvested at optimal ripeness, crushed and the juice left on the skins overnight before being racked to barrels for fermentation. Once fermentation was complete, the wine underwent nine months of barrel aging in mostly older French oak barrels to give it depth and persistence without compromising the natural fruit character. Aging on primary lees with regular agitation (batonnage) provided further complexity and expressiveness.
