VINEYARDS
Vineyards are thirteen years old and planted on the northern slopes of the farm. The vines are trained onto a five wire trellis system to maximise exposure to the sunlight and sea breeze. The use of minimal handling and insecticides shows our approach towards enviro-friendly farming methods.

SOILS
Deep fertile Oakleaf or Clovelly soil. The 20 to 30 cm of lime becomes a good mixture of sand to sand-lime-clay soil medium. It is then followed by 50 to 60 cm of wet zone, as a result of limited amounts of clay, with apparent granite origin.

WINEMAKING
The berries ripened in the early months of the year and were then gently crushed. Fermentation on the skins took place, followed by gentle pressing. Thereafter the wine spent 22 months in the finest 225 l French Oak barrels.
