Production Details Wines in the blend were harvested, sorted and fermented separately, then matured separately in 600-litre oak barrels. After 40 months' maturation the wines were blended and then bottled during December 2018. The preceding winter was wet and cold enough to ensure even budding, while the rest of the season was dry, windy and disease-free. The combination of a good vintage and 40 months of wood maturation produced a wine of exceptional depth, complexity and personality.
