Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats followed by a maceration lasting approximately three weeks to impart colour, flavour and fine tannins to the wine. Malolactic conversion took place in oak barrels and in vats. The wine was then matured for 12 months in French oak barrels of which 25% were new and 75% were one year old. The wine was racked every three months and fined with egg whites prior to bottling.

Winery | The vineyard is managed using sustainable agriculture; strictly plant-based fertilisers are applied in moderation. The Cantenac Brown team uses traditional soil maintenance techniques to enhance the structural, chemical and biological properties of the soil. The vines have an average age of 35 years and are pruned according to the double Guyot method. They are meticulously cared for throughout the year, with pruning; removal of buds, leaves and secondary shoots; thinning out and yield control, all taking place to ensure the highest possible quality. |
