Fermentation And Aging

After gentle pressing, the grapes were barrel-fermented for three weeks where they underwent 100% malolactic fermentation in French Oak barrels. The wine was then aged sur lie in the same barrels (40% new French Oak) for eighteen months. Battonage was performed weekly, then moved to monthly to increase mouthfeel and complexity.
