Vinification
The grapes were machine harvested very early in the morning, arriving at the cellar before sunrise. Whole berries were gently pressed and the juice settled for 48 hours, then transferred to stainless-steel tanks to undergo fermentation. Conditions during fermentation were managed to preserve and accentuate the tropical fruit flavours and vibrant acidity. The wine was left on its fine lees for two months to add complexity and texture, then blended, stabilised and bottled.
