More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were picked in early morning and transported to the cold container for overnight storage. The next day the grapes were first bunch sorted before being destemmed and then berry sorted. The berries went straight into the press, and the juice thereafter was settled for 2 days before being racked and inoculated for fermentation. The wine was fully barrel fermented and aged a further 8 months, before being lightly filtered and bottled.
