In The Cellar

Fermentation takes place in closed tanks of ±10 000 litre where pump overs are done every 4 hours. The wine stays in contact with the skins for between 5 and 6 days. After fermentation on the skin the skins were pressed and the wine was racked in 1st and 2nd fill French oak to complete both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine was matured for ±24 months in 1st and 2nd fill French oak barrels.
