Wine Facts

Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this wine were harvested by hand at the peak of ripeness. After destemming the grapes, they underwent a cold soaking in order for 48-hour maceration to take place before fermentation. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Once finished, the wine makes skin contact for seven days. The wine is then aged nine months in used French and American oak barrels.
