Production Details The grapes were picked in four different passes to achieve optimum ripeness and balance. Handpicked in the early morning hours with bunch selection in the vineyard. Fruit was cooled down, gently pressed, whole bunch, and the juice was settled overnight without the use of settling enzymes. Fermentation occurred naturally in French oak barrels (25% new), using indigenous yeasts. The wine was aged on its lees in barrel for 11 months, without any topping or batonage.
