WINEMAKING
The individual parcels of syrah from each plot were destemmed for fermentation and remained on skins for extended maceration before pressing. It was then run off to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for eight months’ maturation, during which time it was regularly topped and racked. The wine received a traditional egg white fining before bottling.
