Production Details Grapes are meticulously sorted upon arrival at the cellar to remove any green or inferior berries and ensure that only the most pristine fruit is vinified. Fermentation of the three varietal components takes place separately, with some batches fermented in stainless steel tanks and others in oak barrels. The wines undergo 12 months of maturation in older 300-litre barrels to gain additional mouthfeel and complexity before the final blend is assembled.
