Vinification & Ageing:
The winemaking for each of these wines was relatively similar. Except for some barrels of Chenin that received 24 hours on their skins before pressing, the rest of the wines were all sent direct-to-press. From there, all lots were barrel-fermented in neutral oak, and aged undisturbed on the lees.
After 6 months in neutral oak, we selected individual barrels to create this blend. The wine was then bottled with minimal sulfur and without fining or filtration in March 2026.
