Bottling

Winemaking

Each small box of individual clonal selections was gently destemmed and placed in small bins for hand maceration and fermentation. It stayed on skins for 27 days prior to pressing directly into small, tight-grained Francois Frere, French oak barrels.

Aging

French oak barrels. It was decanted twice over the 11 months in barrel.

Food Pairing

It is a versatile pair with a wide variety of foods ranging from seared ahi tuna to pork tenderloin or Cornish game hen.
