THE STORY

Winemaking

The fruit from the 2016 vintage was fermented on skins and pumped over twice daily to ensure maximum extraction of colour and flavour. The wine was then pressed off while still slightly sweet and pumped to new and used oak barrels to complete primary and malo-lactic fermentation. On completion of primary and malo-lactic fermentation the wine was racked off lees and then transferred back to refreshed wood for 18 months of final barrel maturation in a mixture of new (30%) and second shave fine-grained French oak.
