| Vinification | Following a brief cold soak to encourage extraction of colour and tannin from the fruit, the must was fermented between temperatures of 88-90°F. The wine was then aged on French and American oak until the tannins were softened and the wine structure was balanced. We blended Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to enhance the wine's colour and structure, and Merlot to give this wine a soft mouthfeel. |
