Production Details Delicate hand-harvesting took place during the early mornings on Roundstone farm and then crushed 90% whole-cluster. Indigenous fermentation cap management was applied. After four weeks, the wine was pressed to 500L barrels. Each parcel was racked just after Spring and later bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wine was aged for 11 months in French oak 500L barrels, then blended and aged for an additional eleven months before bottling.
