The resulting wine has a restrained fruit character combined with creamy vanilla and spice characters which carry to a very persistent finish. Designed to benefit from long-term cellaring. Warm fermentations are carried out in small batches using part whole bunches and gentle plunging to extend the ferment.
Further maceration precedes pressing and ageing is in the highest quality French oak.
