Following harvest in mid-April, the parcels were fermented in closed top fermenters for 13 days with approximately 10% of the parcels undergoing extended (30 day) maceration time to develop flavour and cellaring potential.
All parcels completed malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, then were barrelled down to Saury & Taransaud barriques (40% new) for an average of 12 months maturation.
