Winemaking: Harvesting in the cool of night, the fruit was cold soaked for two days prior to undergoing primary fermentation for another ten days prior to pressing. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in clay amphora and some older puncheon. The shape of the clay amphora keeps the wine in constant movement and the porosity of clay between steel and oak allows gentle oxygen contact, building richness and texture, allowing the ample tannins of the wine to resolve while still showing generous fruit the length of the palate. The wine was held for an additional nine months prior to bottling. There was a small addition of sulphur prior to bottling.
