Tasting Tips
The grapes were hand picked at optimum ripeness (13.2 Be) and transferred quickly to the winery, where they were crushed, gently pressed and the juice cold settled. Once the fermentation had started the must was transferred to oak barrels where the wine was fermented to dryness, some going through malolactic fermentation. The oak used was a mixture of new and 1 year old, with 66 French and the rest American. The wine stayed in oak for 10 months with regular lees stirring. The wine shows lovely citrus and melon flavours with the creaminess of malolactic fermentation. The oak is finely intergrated. This wine will age till 2008 with careful cellaring.
