Botrytis develops on grapes due to the foggy mornings, humidity and warmer afternoons that are typical during the months before harvest. The grapes are harvested and brought into the cellar, plot by plot, where they are gently pressed before fermentation in oak barrels . Aging takes place in French oak barrels on lees for approximately 20 months .
Grape variety: 100% Semillon
