Grapes were harvested and crushed directly into concrete tanks, followed by few days cold soak. About 30 % of the grapes were fermented whole bunch to bring freshness and perfume to the wine. Pressed off and taken to tank and barrel for maturation. Blended and bottled in July 2022.

Maturation

16 months in a mix of 100% French oak and concrete tanks.

Ageing Potential

4 – 10 years
