Overview

The fruit for this wine was picked at optimal ripeness in the cool of the night before being destemmed, crushed, and fermented in 8 tonne open fermenters at cool temperatures for around 10 days. This aids in fruit retention. Once fermented the wine can go through malo-lactic fermentation. The wine was then matured in French and American oak for 18 months to enhance the complexities of this wine.
