Production Details Fermentation initiated in a small, 4 ton open-top stainless tank. With limited quantities of this grape from a single block of vineyard on the farm, grapes were handled carefully, and fermented with commercial yeast. Pump overs and manual punch downs were done regularly to maximise flavour extraction. Wine is left on the skins after fermentation for 30 days to further soften tannins and integrate flavour. Wine aged in French oak for 24 months, with 30% new barrels and the balance in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels.
