Production Details Grapes were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes were crushed, the mash was cooled and fermentation took place over 8 days at 28° C. Upon completion of malolactic fermentation the wine was matured in 300-litre barrels for 18 months, using a combination of 65% new and 35% second-fill French oak. A barrel selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, after 18 months in 300 liter French oak barrels.
