In the Cellar
Grapes were hand harvested and rigorously hand sorted. Fruit was destemmed and crushed into stainless steel tanks with delestage occurring three times per day after inoculation with a selected yeast variety. There was a total of six weeks maceration time on skins and the wine was barrel-aged for six months in 62% French oak and 38% American oak. 23% was new oak.
