Vinification
On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were whole bunch pressed, and the juice was allowed to clarify naturally. Spontaneous fermentation took place in 400L French oak barrels, 11% new, 16% third fill and the balance neutral oak barrels. After fermentation, the barrels are rolled once a month for nine months before blending and bottling in February 2022.
