Vinification
Harvest commenced slightly earlier than normal on 16th March. Grapes were harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions and transported directly to the winery in the Omaka Valley. The fruit was lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice. This was cold-settled and racked prior to fermentation, which was primarily carried out in stainless steel tanks with cultured yeast. All individual vineyard batches were left on lees until late June, when the blend was assembled.
