All the components where picked at different ripeness levels to ensure a bal-anced final blend, with good fruit purity, freshness, complexity and length. All the components was pressed separate and as whole clusters. The free run juice was then drained into a stainless steel tank to let the juice settle for 24 hours at 8 °C. No enzymes are used during the settling process. The juice is racked from the thick lees to 300 L old French oak barrels. The wine ferment naturally and can take up to three months to complete.
