Winemaking
Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit was fully destemmed and immediately cooled. The grapes were gently pressed at low temperatures to preserve the delicate aromatics, followed by a cold static decantation lasting three days (with the lees removed within the first 24 hours). Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures between 14-15°C. The wine was aged for six months on lees with frequent stirring, with a portion (15%) aged in used French oak barrels. After bottling the wine was aged for a further three months prior to release.
