THE WINES
The vinification takes place by malolactic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and then matured in French oak barrels for 11 up to 18 months and a further 6 to 12 months resting in bottles. Cultivated organically, without pesticides or chemical fertilizer, our indigenous hand-picked grapes create a finely structured wine, described as “simply sexy”.
