| Vinification Details | The Viognier was partly fermented in stainless steel tanks and then completed fermentation and malo-lactic in 20% new French oak 225L barrels. Both red varieties received four days pre-fermentation cold maceration prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The Shiraz and Mourvèdre then completed malolactic fermentation in 45% new French and American oak 225L barrels and matured in these same barrels for 12-14 months. All three varietals were then blended and placed back into barrel to marry for 3 months before being lightly filtered and bottled. |
