Production Details Bunches sorted when hand harvested and on a conveyor belt before the press. The grapes are destemmed and very gently pressed (450-500 litres per ton recovery). The juice is allowed to settle roughly overnight before fermentation is allowed to proceed uninoculated in a stainless-steel tank. The wine is racked and bottled straight after alcoholic fermentation. No lees contact. The wine will mature in bottle. Free SO2 35 mg/L; total SO2 90 mg/L.
