Production Details Grapes are hand picked early in the morning to retain freshness and fruit flavours. They are crushed and destemmed into the press and left till the next morning to press, giving the juice extended skin contact to increase its phenolic complexity and enhance its aromatic intensity. Once pressed, the juice is settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is left on the lees for six months before being racked, fined and stabilized in preparation for bottling.
