Hand-picked grapes were destemmed before passing across a sorting table for the removal of all unwanted material and then crushed directly into stainless steel tanks and wooden upright (foudre) fermenters. The must was cooled to between 10 and 15°C for a cold soak before fermentation started naturally. Pump-overs, dellastage and punching down of the cap were implemented twice a day for extraction until the fermentation completed. The tanks were given maceration post fermentation depending on tannin extraction and development. The wines were put to barrel for malolactic fermentation after which they were racked, sulphured and put back to barrel for a further maturation. The wines spent a total of nineteen months in 20% new French oak and the rest being older French oak barriques – all 225L format.During the maturation the components were racked twice where after the wine was blended in tank and returned to barrel to homogenise and mature further. The wines received a light fining before filtration and bottling in November 2022. 135 870 bottles were produced
