ABOUT

Harvested during the cool early morning temperatures, the grapes were destemmed without delay, except for a small percentage of whole bunches which were added directly to the fermentation vessels. The fruit was allowed to soak at cool temperatures for 5-7 days before wild fermentation commenced, then inoculated with cultured yeast and fermented at between 25-30°C in stainless vessels. The wine was gently pressed off skins using both a basket press and bag press prior to full malolactic fermentation. Bottled under a screw cap to preserve intensely perfumed aromatics and expressive fruit.
