The grapes for this wine were harvested by hand with great care, destemmed and then sorted berry by berry. Fermentation took place in open fermentation vats, with the must being racked every four hours in order to extract optimum colour, tannins and aromas. After fermentation, a three-week swelling phase took place to achieve maximum colour and tannin structure. The wine matured for 12 months in 100% French oak barrels (43% new wood).
