A combination of machine and handpicked fruit was destemmed but not crushed into open and closed fermenters. The wine was plunged and pumped over up to three times a day at the height of ferment. Post ferment it was rested for up to two weeks on skins to advance and condense the tannin structure making the wine more approachable and supple. The wine was pressed and run to tank and new and used French oak barriques, where it was matured for 12 months in before it was blended and was bottled unfined in 2019.
