Winemaking Notes:ÊÒPerfectly healthy, destemmed grapes allowed for a long cold soak to extract the superb flavours and bene- ficial antioxidants of the skins. Allowing the temperature to rise, the must naturally progress through a long wild natural fermentation for a true expression of terroir and place. After some time on post macera- tion, the young wine was gently pressed and transferred into partly new French Barriques for a natural second malolactic fermentation. The minimal oxygen exchange over a 24 months of maturation in the same barrels made all the difference. The wine and wood had time to marry together to form a richer, more complex and textured wine, able to age for many years in the bottle. For you to enjoy this stately flagship wine at its full potential, we bottle-aged this vintage in perfect condition for 8 years. This is drinking like one of the best ÒGrand CruÓ Pomerol but without the heavy price tag that normally would come with it. No fining. No filtration. Natural greatness.ÓÊÐ Hans Herzog
