Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from the winery's Estate vineyards. After hand-picking, destemming and crushing, the resulting must is fermented in French oak casks from different forests. It is then aged for 7 months in French oak barrels (40% new oak, 60% second and third-use barrels) with periodic batonnage.
Serving Hints
Serve slightly chilled as a lovely accompaniment to seafood, chicken and light cream-based dishes.
