Soil composition | Calcareous alkaline soil with medium depth root penetration. A combination of excellent drainage (& poor water retention by the soil) together with a stony textured topsoil, create the ideal condition for high quality and low yield grape production. |
Harvest | Grapes are carefully selected & placed in small plastic crates and carried immediately to the winery. Here a second selection is done on a conveyer belt before pressing the grapes. |
Wine making | Vinification then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks where, through maceration & fermentation and the use of techniques such as rack & return and regular pumpovers, the new wine is born. Once the wine has been racked off its gross lees, it is transferred to barrels to undergo Malolactic Fermentation |
Aging | Barrel sizes vary from: 2000-2500lt casks, 500lt Puncheons; 225lt Barriques .During the 12 4 months, the wine goes through regular rackings and topping-up of the barrels until final blending, imparting balance, finesse, and suppleness of tannins. |
Allergens | Contains sulphites |
