90% Malbec, 5% Merlot and 5% Tannat from certified organic estate vineyards. 100% de-stemmed and fermented for 30 days with daily punch-downs for the first few days. Malolactic conversion occurs in barrel and the wine is matured for 24 months in 25% new French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur (approximately only 3-5 ppm post-bottling).
'When we first started working with lees a decade or more ago we had typically 50mm or more of lees and we would get quite a bit of reduction. Today with healthier fruit from organics, we start with less than 30mm of lees, but after 18-24 months we have only 1mm of lees remaining and no reduction at all. Amazingly, the lees have been assimilated back into the wine.' Pascal Verhaeghe.
