Cellar Techniques
Four pump-overs a day add to the color, richness and tannins of the
wine. Different grape varietals were fermented separately with
extended maceration on the skins after fermentation. Only the best
barrels were selected for this wine, which was matured in 225 liter
French oak barrels for 14 months. It was bottled in September
2008.
