Production Details Grapes were hand-harvested between 22.4° and 23.5° Balling. At the receival of the grapes at the cellar, these bunches were sorted and cooled down before crushing. Skin contact was allowed for 4 hours at ±10°C. Only free-run juice drained by gravity was used for fermentation, 60% of which fermented in stainless-steel tanks and 40% in older French-oak barrels. Thereafter, the wine spent 6 months on the lees. The oak component was blended with the stainless-steel tank fermented wine prior to bottling.
