Produced with meticulous care and attention, grapes were de-stemmed and partially crushed, combining punch downs and pump overs at cooler temperatures between 24°C and 26°C. The wine was left on the skin post ferment for between four and six weeks at 16°C and matured in 80% new French oak barrels for 16 month
