The vineyard

The Yarra Valley vineyard, located in the state of Victoria in Australia, is one of the country's most prestigious wine regions. Renowned for its cool climate, this region primarily produces elegant wines.

The cuvée

The grapes come from plots planted in 1990 on a terraced rocky hillside, with classic Portuguese grape varieties.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested, the bunches are destemmed while preserving as many whole berries as possible. The must is first foot-trodden, in the manner of traditional Portuguese lagares, to extract tannins from the skins and pips. The process continues with gentle pressing, followed by 10 months of aging in old oak barrels.
