Vinifikation The grapes for this wine come from only 2 specific vineyard blocks on our property. Although the winter season was not as wet as in previous years, no additional irrigation was necessary. With only a few interventions, a good balance of fruit concentration and elegance was achieved. Careful selection was made in the vineyard, and after destemming, the grapes were fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters. We used a combination of punch-downs and pump-overs at different stages of fermentation, trying to extract as much aroma and tannin as possible at the beginning of fermentation. Towards the end of the process, we drastically reduced the extraction, typically limiting it to only one pump-over per day to avoid over-extracting the wine and ensure we achieved the best balance. After primary fermentation, the grapes were gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels; 70% new, with the remaining 30% being 2nd and 3rd fill, for 18 months before the final blending took place.
