Vinification
Individual parcels from each vineyard were selected when they reached optimum sugar and flavour equilibrium. The parcels were kept separate throughout picking, de-stemming and fermenting, to ensure the resultant selections of wine were of the highest quality. Fermentation was carried out in open, static fermenters. During this process, each parcel was plunged and pumped over twice a day for 14 days, to extract colour, flavour and tannin structure.
Maturation
The ferments were pressed to new and mature American and French oak barriques, where they were aged for 12 months prior to blending and bottling.
Food Pairing
A great match for beef stew
