Production Details The grapes were picked in the early morning and transported to the cold container for overnight storage. The next day the grapes were bunch sorted before being destemmed and berry sorted. The berries went straight into the press, and the juice was settled for 3 days before being racked and inoculated for fermentation. The wine was fully barrel fermented and aged for a further 6 months before being lightly filtered and bottled.
