Production Details Hand-picked grapes were cooled overnight, hand-sorted, and destemmed before entering the cellar. Five days of cold maceration on the skins preceded alcoholic fermentation. Regular pump-overs during the three-week fermentation assured soft tannins, increased flavour, and a deeper colour. Wine was matured for six months in French oak barrels. Drinking well now but can be enjoyed over the next 8 years if cellared correctly.
