Winemaker Notes
Grapes were picked in early morning and whole cluster pressed at receipt of fruit. Juice was allowed to settle overnight. In the morning the clear juice was put into a combination of new and Neutral barrel all French oak. Low and slow fermentation occurred over 2 months secondary completed 40 days later and 15-month elevage. The best two barrels of the vintage were selected for this wine. Only 43 cases were produced.
