Production Details The fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning to retain freshness and acidity. Skin contact was limited to six hours and the free-run juice drained off to settle overnight before inoculation with carefully selected yeast strains. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures between 12° and 14°C. A small portion of the Sémillon was fermented in French oak barrels to add complexity to the wine. The wine matured for 3.5 months on the lees before bottling.
