More information

Fermentation
The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed, then transferred by gravity to stainless steel fermentation tanks. After a cold soak, the winemaker allowed the must to ferment with indigenous yeast. Post-fermentation, the new wine remained on the grape skins for an extended maceration to develop mouthfeel and structure. The winemaking team pressed the wine off 31 days after it entered the tank. They left the malolactic fermentation to complete indigenously.
Elevage
The wine features 66% new oak sourced from the center of France. A blend of Medium and Medium plus toasted oak from both Saury and Taransaud cooperages has been utilized.
