Production Details Fruit and must were purchased from partner growers under rigorous specifications. Grapes were hand-harvested in open-work crates and carefully sorted if necessary, then fully destemmed. Fermentation and maceration lasted 2–3 weeks in small open vats with punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine was pressed vertically, with press ends separated according to tasting, then matured for 14–16 months in oak barrels, including 20–25% new barrels, made from French high-forest oak.
Tasting Notes Ripe red and black berries; excellent ripeness; smooth, long and complex palate
