SOIL TYPE
Decomposed granite mixed with clay
VINIFICATION
The juice was allowed approximately 10 days’ skin contact. After the first fermentation in open and steel tanks, the wine underwent a secondary malolactic fermentation. This wine was then matured for 18 months in small casks of new French oak in the maturation cellars on the estate. This was followed by a period of 24 months’ in-bottle maturation.
TASTING NOTES
A classic, deep ruby-red wine of subtle fullness. It has the complexity and elegance of a well-bred Cabernet. Naturally, it offers great ageing potential.
