The vineyards are cared for meticulously through hard cane pruning, shoot thinning in spring, under-vine mulching, as well as fruit thinning if needed at veraison to control yield and separate bunches. The fruit is then partly destemmed, often using up to 50% whole bunches in the ferment to create layers of texture, slow down fermentation and control temperature. The resulting wine is then basket pressed into 100% new French oak barriques where it will lay for up to 27 months depending on the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA rich, luscious, sweet-fruited wine. In fact the oak here too is pretty damn seductive; cedarwood with high toast notes, and plenty of it. Cured meat, coffee grounds, saturated plum and sweet spice. The flavours almost roil, such is their intensity. At 16.3% it’s high octane but it somehow manages to feel balanced. An undeniable style of undeniable quality.
