In the cellar

Fermented separately, berries was crushed and coldsoaked for 24hrs at 12°C, then inoculated with selected yeast that would complement each varietal. The must was fermented in 5 ton open Stainless steel tanks with aerative hand punch downs every 4 hrs to extract all colour and flavour to express the fruit purity and terroir. Fermentation for 7 days at temperatures between 24-29°C after which extended skin maceration followed. The wine was matured for 18mths in a combination of 300L French oak barrels, of which 45% was new.
