Production Details The destemmed grapes were given overnight skin-contact (12 hours) after which the settled juice was transferred to both Italian terracotta amphorae and concrete eggs for fermentation. After completion of fermentation the wine was left on the primary lees for a further 9 months, before being blended for bottling where 10% of the blend was made up of the terracotta amphora fermented portion, and the other 90% from the concrete egg. The wine captures the essence of this inimitable old vineyards in a very powerful way.
