ABOUT THE WINE: Destemmed fruit is pumped to overhead small fermenters. During fermentation the wine is hand-plunged three times per day. After pressing, the different ferments and varieties are then blended as early as possible to give maximum integration. Picardy also attempt to co-ferment the Cabernet Franc either with the Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon, to further enhance integration. After blending and settling, the wine is then matured in new to five year old French oak barriques. After twelve months in oak the wine is racked out of barrel to a tank and given a gentle filtration on its way to bottle.
