The enduring and timeless Medoc inspired cépage of Cabernet Sauvignion, Franc and Petit Verdot. Grapes are all picked by hand into buckets and bins, off blocks of dry grown, widely spaced vines, planted to sandy and gravelly loams over clay subsoils. Bunches are destemmed into small, open fermenters, seeded with pure yeast culture and treated to a course of hand plunges, thrice daily throughout two to three weeks of vinification at temperatures up to 28âC. Upon completion to dryness and a term of post ferment maceration, batches are pressed for malolactic, sulphured and racked to a selection of seasoned and new, 228 litre French oak barriques for twenty eight months maturation. Alcohol 14.0%
