Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for this Cabernet Franc were subjected to a three-day cold swelling phase before fermentation. After pressing the grapes, the juice was transferred directly into barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 12 months in a combination of French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels, 35% of which were new wood, 40% second wood and 25% third wood. At the end of the ageing process, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled for ready consumption.
