Both parcels received similar handling, 20% whole clusters were tipped straight into fermenters with the balance crushed on top of the whole clusters.

Wine underwent Malolactic fermentation in oak and was then sulphured in place. After 7 months maturation, wines were racked out of barrel for blending then straight to bottling.
