Production Details Pinot Noir harvested ripe at 19.5° Balling and Chardonnay at 18.5° Balling. Only the first free-run juice (400 litres per ton) of the Pinot Noir is used. The juice ferments in stainless steel tanks and spends three months on the lees thereafter. As a non-vintage wine, the final blend is assembled from different vintages. The wine undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and matures for 14-20 months on the lees before disgorging and dosage.
