Winemaking
After hand-picking in late September, the fruit was de-stemmed and fermented in small tanks, with regular pump overs to aid extraction. In order to let the varietal fruit shine through, the wine was aged 14 months in primarily neutral French oak barrels. Following this mantra further, the wine was left un-blended in order to let the Mourvèdre speak as a pure, 100% varietal wine.
