Production Details The fruit was harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. The grapes were whole bunch pressed, and the juice settled overnight before fermentation and maturation in a combination of older French oak foudres, 3rd and 4th fill 500L puncheons, and stainless steel (35%). The wine spent 11 months on the lees; thereafter, it was blended and bottled.
