Wine Description
The 2024 fruit, harvested by hand on 9th March, was chilled overnight, then whole bunch pressed and fermented with a third of the juice going to new oak and the remainder going to one year old French oak barriques from the Marsannay, Quintessence and D&J cooperages. The wine spent nine months in oak with a partial malolactic fermentation to develop mouth feel and richness. Lees stirring (bâtonnage) occurred at weekly intervals during the first five months in barrel. The wine was then left to rest before preparation for bottling. After bottling it was rested for a number of months to allow for further integration in bottle before release.
