Production Details Once the grapes were handpicked and destemmed in the cellar, they were individually sorted to ensure only the best coloured and sized fruit were selected. Fermentation occurred in stainless-steel fermenters for up to 24 days. The free-run wine was barrelled down into 70% new French oak barrels for 26 months. Barrel selection was done to make the perfect blend of the original vineyard sites.
