Following Malolactic the barrels were moved to a well ventilated area where conditions were perfect for the gradual growth of the flor yeast on the surface of
the increasingly ullaged barrels. After 4 years of ageing under flor, the wine was blended in equal amounts with freshly pressed Savagnin grape juice from the Crittenden home vineyard.This blend was then fortified to 17% alcohol with neutral grape spirit and then put back to barrel for a further 6 months ageing. Bottling took place in Nov 2024 without any fining, stabilisation or addition of SO2.
