Vinification details: Ripening started to be monitored in early August and continued until each variety was picked. The harvest began with the Syrah grapes towards the end of August and finished late September with the last of the Petit Verdot. Average yields were modest but higher than in recent years. The grapes were picked by hand, selected in the vineyard and transported in 15kg crates. The best bunches were then selected from the triage tables and taken to be de-stemmed and gently crushed. The paste was chilled down to 12-13oC before being transferred to small stainless-steel tanks to macerate/ferment for 12-15 days. The temperatures were kept mild during this process to retain and heighten the aromas. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for more than 12 months. The wine was then blended after this barrel ageing and bottled in July.
