Harvested in two passes over a ten day period during late March 2002, the fruit was destemmed and crushed to open top fermenters and hand plunged during fermentation. After primary fermentation was completed the wine was pressed to barrel and underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel in new Burgundian style (Sirugue) oak . The wine was regularly racked and very gently aerated during aging.
The winemaking philosophy is to preserve the very distinct vineyard character and fruit purity along with support from low impact French oak. The wine was bottled on September 2003, unfined and unfiltered, and released in November 2004 after 14 months bottle age.
The wine has possessed an “x” factor since fermentation including a unique and incredible spicy/licorice texture. This can only be attributed to the site and particular special growing conditions.

The Viognier free run juice was pressed off separately for the varietal white wine and the remaining skins only were included in the ferment. The Viognier component is approximately 2%.
