VINIFICATION:Grapes from selected parts of a 19-year-old bush vineyard were hand-picked in the early morning to take advantage of the cool climate and to capture fresh fruit flavours. The harvest was done at 24°B. After crushing, the mash was cooled down to about 14°C and kept at that temperature for 24 hours to extract more fruity flavours from the skins. Inoculation with a selected wine yeast strain then followed. The yeast selection was specifically done to enhance and extract the most delicate fruity aromas from this special grape variety.
MATURATION:11 Months in French oak Barrels. New barrel component is 15%, the second fill is 11%.
