Arket angiver ikke WO-område. Producentens noter (engelsk): Varietal: Grenache, clone GN 70 N Vintage: Wet, cool climate conditions allowed replenishment of water reserves and slow ripening period. Method: The grapes were gently de-stemmed, retaining as many whole berries as possible after which a displacement pump takes the fruit to its fermentation tank. The tanks are then inoculated with a specific commercial yeast strain, this way insuring the development of the perfect flavour profile. Fermentation took place in stainless steel fermenters, where punch downs were used to ensure optimal colour, tannin and flavour extraction. Once fermentation is complete the wine is drained off the skins and moved to a holding tank to be barrelled down. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrels. The wines age gracefully in place for 10 months and receive only one racking during this period. After tasting through all the individual lots our winemaking team decides on the final blend, the barrels are emptied into the tank farm and the wines are prepared for bottling.
