Production Notes
The fruit was hand harvested on October 22nd and sent to concrete vessels to ferment on skins. After 30 days the wine was gently pressed off skins through a gravity fed basket press and returned to a combination of concrete and large neutral oak vessels for ageing on gross lees. The wine was aged for a further 3 months on fine lees in a mix of 10% new barrique, third-fill double puncheon with the balance being raised in neutral puncheons. The wine was then cross-flow filtered and bottled under Stelvin closure to best preserve its lively, fruit-forward characteristics.
