After an extended period of cold soaking on skins this wine was inoculated with selected yeast strains and fermented at high temperature to extract full flavours and tannins. The wine remained on skins for 21 days and was then pressed and racked to barrels. The barrels were a combination of American and French oak of which 60% was new.
