WINEMAKING: The grapes were harvested at 25º Balling and each block was individually vinified. Open-top fermenters were used for a greater measure of control. Its large surface area provided an excellent ratio between the cap and the wine itself,
thereby enhancing colour and eventual flavour. The wine was matured in a selection of new-, second- and third-filll French oak barrels for a period of 30 months prior to blending. Only 1 200 litres of this wine were bottled.
