Vinification
The grapes were picked by hand and carefully selected. Once at the winery, they were gently pressed using a pneumatic press. The must was fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its natural fresh fruit character. The wine was then matured on its lees in 500 litre stainless steel tanks for six months, before spending a further two months ageing in bottle before release.
