Production Details Pristine grapes (Clone PN115, Guyot pruned) selected from three different slopes on our farm Wallovale Vineyards were vinified with gentle attention. Whole berry fermented in open fermenters, basket pressed, then taken to barrel where malolactic fermentation completed. After 10 months on wood (20% new wood, 45% second fill, 35% third and fourth fill), the wine was prepared for bottling. Wine of origin: Elgin.
