Production Details As each parcel was harvested, the grapes were chilled in our cold room. The grapes were then pressed whole-bunch and the juice was allowed to settle overnight. Minimal SO2 was added and, as with all our wines, no other additions were made. The juice was then racked to barrel for fermentation with indigenous yeasts, which lasted approximately 8 weeks. The wine was left without additional sulphur on its lees until spring. During this time the wine finished malolactic fermentation. The barrels were racked and blended just before the 2021 vintage and bottled unfiltered.
