David & Nadia Description
Dry land farmed bush vines planted in 1991 and 1998 in a combination of pure granite rock in the higher parts of the mountain (around 240 m above sea level), mixed with decomposed granite deposits lower down in the vineyards. We once again started our harvest with these grapes that were harvested at the end of January. Grapes were hand sorted, 20% was left as whole bunches and 80% was destemmed, but not crushed. Fermentation took place in one concrete tank and one large vertical wooden foudre. The wine wasleft on the skins for a total of three weeks including pre-ferment cold soak. The cap was lightly punched down twice per day, delicately extracted and then pressed off into the old 4 000 L vertical Foudré for ageing.
