Vinification
Fruit was hand harvested, destemmed and whole berry sorted into stainless steel open fermenters. The whole berry ferment spent 11 days on skins, during which time it was gently plunged to ensure optimum extraction while maintaining delicate aromatics. The wine was basket pressed off skins before maturation and malolactic fermentation on lees, the majority in stainless steel to retain fruit purity and freshness.
