Production Details Vintage conditions: wet, cool climate conditions allowed replenishment of water reserves and a slow ripening period. Yield: 12 t/ha. Possible origin of the mint/eucalyptol character: airborne transfer from bordering eucalyptus trees to the grape berries. Winemaking: de-stalked, hand sorting of berries, crushed, pumped into a stainless steel fermenter, pumped over for 10 days, left for 6 days before pressing, then racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation. Wood maturation: 18 months in barrel, 40% new French oak, balance in older barrels.
