WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were harvested at 24.7° Balling during mid-March. After destalking and crushing, the mash was fermented using a selected, pure yeast culture. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was matured for a period of 12 months in predominately French oak barrels. New oak barrels were used for 45% of the wine with the balance matured in second- and third-fill barrels.
