The grapes for this high-dollar Syrah were hand-picked under blue autumn skies and transported in small baskets to the winery, where they were sorted by hand on a conveyor belt with great care. After de-stemming the grapes, the berries fell into small cone-shaped hoppers with a capacity of 500 kg after further inspection on an automated selection table, and were then lifted by forklifts into open fermentation tanks. The grapes were subjected to a three-day swelling phase before spontaneous fermentation began. The grapes were left on the skins for 17-21 days. The wine was then transferred to the barrel with the aid of sheer gravity (without any use of pumps). Once the malolactic fermentation in barrel was complete, the wine was lightly sulphured and aged for 17 months in handmade French barrels from Burgundy and the Rhône region. 46% of the barrels used consisted of new wood, while the remaining percentage was second and third wood.
