After the secondary fermentation the wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels of which 20% was new oak.

The grapes were received during early, after which crushing and de-stemming commenced. The mash was pumped to fermentation tanks where it was cold macerated for 3 days. Yeast was then added for fermentation to start. Fermentation took place at between 26-30°C. Aerated pump-overs were performed 4 times per day with the volume of the tank being moved once with every pump-over. Fermentation continued for 10-14 days. The wine was then pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation was performed.
