The fruit is handpicked and destemmed with and no rollers to maintain as many whole berries as possible. It is then tipped into the open fermentors and cold soaked for 3 days before starting fermentation. It is plunged twice daily and allowed to ferment fairly quickly. It is pressed at the end of ferment with some residual sugar from whole berries and transferred to barrel to finish ferment and Malolactic fermentation. It is sulfured at the end of ferment and left in barrel for 8 months. The oak is predominantly Puncheons with 20% new and a mixture of tonneliers. The wine is kept seperate in clones to the end of ferment and then blended together to best showcase the vintage and the region.
