Expert reviews
Vinification notes
The grapes were hand-picked, manually sorted and destemmed before being transferred to small open-topped fermenters. A three-day maceration took place followed by spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast. Skin contact lasted for 10 to 12 days before being run off and the remaining marc was gently basket pressed. The wine was racked by gravity to barrel where malolactic conversion took place. Maturation in French oak lasted for 10 to 11 months. Each clone and soil type was micro vinified as a separate batch; the average comprised 39.4% in new oak; and 82.2% was aged in 228-litre barriques with 17.8% in 500-litre casks
