Specifications
In the cellar
The grapes were harvested at 22 – 23,5 ºBrix depending on varietal and site. After whole bunch pressing, the juice was settled and racked to 500l French Oak barrels for fermentation. The wine spent 8 months barrel ageing on the lees for a richer mouth feel and underwent partial malolactic fermentation.
