Ageing

The wine spends 3 months in stainless steel tanks and 12 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by a further 3 months in bottle after bottling.

Label / history

The text names silver and bronze medals on several occasions at the International Wines and Spirits Competition, the Decanter World Wine Awards and the Wine & Spirit Competition. No years or specific results are given.
