The grapes come from a small 0.5-hectare block of Jan Lui’s Field on the Oude-Nektar farm, at an altitude of 200 metres. The soil is predominantly decomposed granite; according to the winery, this parcel produces particularly full-bodied red wines. After being harvested in early March, the grapes were cooled, destemmed and fermented in open tanks. Gentle pump-overs were carried out twice a day, after which the wine matured for 20 months in French barriques, 20% of them new. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered. The style is deeply coloured, fruit-driven and full-bodied, with plum and berry aromas, lively acidity and pronounced, age-worthy tannins. Production amounted to 3,344 bottles.
