Production Details Hand-harvested fruit was transported by refrigerated truck to the cellar in Devon Valley. A portion was whole-bunch fermented in stainless steel red wine fermenters and covered with de-stemmed and partially crushed berries. The balance was fermented traditionally following careful destemming and berry sorting. The individual components were matured for 12 months prior to bottling in a combination of seasoned barrels and Flexcube tanks.
