Production Details The grapes were hand harvested towards the end of January 2019 and gently whole bunch pressed to recover a maximum of only 500 litres per ton. Fermentation of the Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir occurred in old French oak barrels. A further technique of using a reserve portion of Chardonnay, which has spent 12 months in old French barrels, completes Jewel Box. The wine spends a minimum of 44 months on the lees to develop optimum complexity.
