The fruit was hand-picked into slotted crates, which are then dried under the sun for approximately three weeks before crushing to a tank press for overnight fermentation. Once pressed, the lightly fermented juice is fortified to 17.0% alcohol to arrest the fermentation. The wine is then matured in small oak for ten years to develop the flavours before blending.
