Production Details Each variety was harvested separately at varying stages. Grenache and Syrah were whole-bunch fermented while Cinsault and Mourvedre were crushed and destemmed. Each batch was fermented separately in open top fermenters with wild/natural yeast. A short post-fermentation maceration occurred before pressing and transfer to 500L and 300L barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine spent a further 8 months in barrel before final blending and bottling.
