Production Details The grapes were transported approximately 260kms to the cellar in refrigerated trucks and cooled overnight. Bunches were hand-sorted and whole-bunch pressed the following day, and the juice allowed to settle overnight without the use of enzymes. The cloudy juice was racked into a combination of concrete egg (90%) and 2nd fill 500L French oak barrel (10%) where spontaneous fermentation occurred. The 500L barrel underwent malolactic fermentation spontaneously. The wine spent 8 months on the lees before being blended and bottled.
