VINIFICATION AND MATURATION:
Selected blocks were machine harvested in the cool nights prior to being harvested then destemmed into a combination of open and rotary fermenters. Each fermenter type adds differences in aromatic profile and structure that combines to give complexity & balance in the final blend. After an average maceration period of 10 days the ferments are then pressed in the air bag press, clarified and pumped into oak for maturation. The oak used was a combination of French & American barriques at 20% new oak. Maturation was for 15 months before being carefully blended, lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
