Production Details Grapes were hand harvested, carefully sorted and destemmed before transfer to stainless-steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation used temperature control and regular pump-overs, followed by gentle pressing and malolactic fermentation. A small portion entered oak during malolactic fermentation; the remainder entered barrels after malolactic fermentation. Maturation lasted 12 months in 225 L French-oak barrels, comprising 42% new barrels and 58% barrels previously used for one vintage. Recommended serving temperature is 16–18°C.
Tasting Notes Deep robe; intense nose with yellow fruit, orange, apricot and a herbaceous touch; explosive palate with abundant non-drying tannin; very long, expressive finish.
