Harvested from a selected block at 23-24°B. Crushed and destemmed reductively. Skin contact for 12hrs; pressed and settled for 36hrs. Racked and inoculated with a selected yeast, Vin 7. 3 weeks alcoholic fermentation temperature controlled at 14-16ºC.

Gentle slopes exposed to the micro-climate of the Altantic Ocean results in the vineyards being influenced by the cool air-flors and morning mists so typical of a maritime climate. In summer a firm south-eater wind fans the vines ensuring temperate and sunny ripening conditions. Along. with dryland farming on soils of decomposed granite with a high clay content, the vines offer intensely flavoured fruit, resulting in wines of elegance, character and structure.

Post fermentation lees contact of 5 months, stirred up once a week to enhance mouthfeel and concentration.
