Production Details The grapes are chilled in our cold room, where after they are pressed whole bunch and allowed to settle overnight. Minimal sulphur is added, and no further additions are made. The must is then racked to barrel for fermentation and temperatures are not allowed to exceed 24°C. Fermentation lasted 42 days after which the wine was left to complete malolactic fermentation and left unsulphured until bottling.
