Vinification
Drip line irrigation when needed at the very end. Harvested by hand. Sorted by hand. 75% was destemmed and 25% was left whole for fermentation. Cold soak with punch downs for 6 days. Innoculated with yeast for fermentation and the temperature never exceeded 90 degrees. The wine was then aged in French Oak barrels for 10 months (François Frères and Billon French Oak - 75% new, 25% 2 year old).
The toast on all of the barrels was medium plus. ML happened naturally in the barrels. This wine was never racked during the ageing process. It was only racked a few days before bottling to create the blend. The wine was never fined or filtered.
