Vinification
The grapes were handpicked and sorted into open top French oak foudres for fermentation. The Grenache Noir and Carignan grapes included 20% whole bunches. Punch-downs took place daily and basket-pressed post fermentation. The wine was matured in French and American oak barrels (20% new barrels) for 24 months. Each component of the blend was kept separate and until final barrel selection and blending occurred.
