Winemaking
The grapes were harvested by hand at 22 ̊ to 24 ̊ Balling.
Each vineyard bock was vinified separately. The juice was cold-fermented between 13 ̊ C and 15 ̊ C to preserve the natural grape flavours. The wine was left on the lees for 4 months before being racked.
The estate blend was then created using elements from various blocks to ensure that the result is greater than the sum of the parts. this wine which over-delivers in every aspect.
