Maturation

The grapes were cold soaked for 4 days prior to fermentation. They were then pressed and put straight into barrels for malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. The wine was racked immediately after malo and placed in mainly French (60%) and American (40%) 1st (35%), 2nd (40%) and 3rd (25%) fill oak barrels for 12 months of maturation after which the wine was lightly filtered and bottled.
