Hand selected by individual bunch, the grapes run down an individual berry sorting table, into small vessels to ferment on skins for up to six weeks. Aged fifteen months in tight grained low toast new and one year old French oak, prior to rigorous barrel selection to compile this final blend. Fragrant. Layered dark berries. Long smooth tannins. Elegant.
