VINEYARD Sourced from two sites in close proximity; one with red clay over limestone providing richness and intensity, the other at the base of the hillside on a sandy loam soil also over limestone-which provides freshness and elegance to the wine.

MATURATION The fruit was fermented on skins for eight days before being pressed and transferred to barrel for 18 months maturation. A mix of 85% French and 15% American oak was used. 15% in new barrels.
