ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The vines are subjected to several passings during harvest. With each passing the workers chose only the most mature bunches leaving the other to develop further.

The grapes are harvested into small baskets to prevent bruising. Monastrell grapes were harvested the last 2 weeks in September and the
Cabernet grapes were harvested the first 2 weeks in October.

The famous Australian winemaker, Chris Ringland, oversees the winemaking process. The bunches are brought to triage tables for selection of only the healthiest, ripest grapes; followed by fermentation in open small vats that hold only 3 or 4 tons per batch for 7 days. The grapes are basket pressed and fermentation is finished in oak barrels. New French and American oak barrels are used for malolactic fermentation. The wines are aged for 26 months in barrels.
