After cool early morning harvest the grapes from select premium vineyards were gently pressed to create unique juice parcels, retaining only free run and light pressings juice fractions. Fermented cool with selected aromatic yeast strains to retain varietal intensity and character. 10% of blend was matured in French oak puncheons and stirred to create a rich, textural component. All other components were matured on light yeast lees in tank for 3 months and then racked prior to careful blending.
