The 2017 winter saw lots of rainfall that continued into spring. Summer was dry and warm with even temperatures throughout February, March, April. These provided perfect conditions to achieve optimal ripeness and tannin profile. The fruit picked and sorted in mid April 2018. It was cold soaked in a small fermenter for twelve days before undergoing an extended and gentle maceration. Post-fermentation, the wine was left on skins for 18 days.

Thirty percent of the wine was matured in new Bordeaux oak barriques. The balance went to one year old (40%) and two year old (30%) Bordeaux barriques for fourteen months.
