This makes my head ache: fermentation started in stainless steel, but some of the marsanne and viognier finished fermentation in and was aged in barrel until bottled in Aug (or ready to be bottled). The remaining marsanne and the roussanne was aged on lees in tank until bottling (with the wine in oak) But wait, 25% of the total blend was aged in French oak (15% new puncheons) for 6 months. Arrgh. What wine was in the puncheons and when did it go in?
