Vinification
These grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed almost immediately post pick. The juice was lightly settled overnight, then went direct to barrel the next day for fermentation. 85% of this wine was fermented in seasoned French oak puncheons, while the other 15% was fermented in new French oak barriques. Barrels were stirred every 3 weeks with minimal ullage on its ferment lees. Malolactic fermentation took place in full and naturally. Once fermentation finished, this wine aged in barrel for 9 months before blending and bottling.
