Overgaauw DC Classic 2009
The different parcels for this blend were identified according to the site and clone attributes. Handpicked, optimum ripe berries were hand sorted and then lightly crushed. Extended skin contact for 14 days after fermentation ensured the tannin extraction and integration for a firm yet elegant mouth-feel. Malolactic fermentation in barrel followed.
