Production Details Grapes from various blocks were hand-picked and sorted before settling in stainless steel or wooden fermentation tanks. Different yeasts were used to work on both aromatic profiles and structural components. Various pump-over techniques were applied, including both open and closed pump-overs at different intervals. The Cabernet spent 3 weeks on its skins, post-fermentation, after which it was taken to 225l and 300l barrels (first, second and third fill) for 12 months.
