The Big Beltie Cabernet Sauvignon requires perfectly ripe grapes to show its full potential. Xavier looks for the right moment for the harvest of each particular vineyard, ensuring perfect phenolic maturity. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and then sent to maceration for about ten weeks. This long process is ideal to extract the fruity character of the variety. Approximately one third of the blend is aged with half-toasted French oak which adds complexity to the wine.
