WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were harvested from late January to mid -February at 21.7° Balling. The grapes were de-stemmed and gently crushed. Following this, the grapes underwent a 4-hour skin contact period in the press to extract flavours. The resulting juice was split into three press fractions, only the free run juice, representing the highest quality extract, was selected. Inoculated with a selected dry yeast, the juice underwent cool fermentation for three to four weeks in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 14°C. After fermentation, the wines rested on their yeast lees for six weeks to enhance complexity before being blended and prepared for bottling.
