We insist on small batched wines, low yield, that have been matured and fermented in new and seasoned French oak barrels utilising wild yeast natural to the vineyard. We spend a lot of time (and money) sourcing the right French oak, the right spice, toast and influential flavours. We select oak from single French forests (no blended wood).
