Vinification
Harvested at optimal ripeness in the cool of the night, this fruit was transported to the winery and immediately destemmed into open top and static fermenters. The wine was left on skins for up to two weeks before pressing and racking to French oak for maturation. Each parcel was kept separate until blending to build layers and complexity into the wine.
Oak Maturation
10 months in 2-8 year old French oak barriques.
