HAND PRUNING
The foundation for the next vintage, very important to set up vine balance, shoot spacing and more consistency.

HAND PICKED
Not only protects the architecture of the vine, but allows selective harvest of the best fruit, preserving the indigenous yeast population from the vineyard.

FRENCH OAK
Tight grain French oak is more subtle and integrates into the wine better. French oak selected for cabernet is very structural, with only a small amount of new oak required so the expression of site isn’t overshadowed.

BASKET PRESS
Traditional method of pressing reds. Using slow leaching the richness of the wine is captured, without becoming bitter or needing fining.
