WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were harvested by hand early February at 22° Balling. After crushing and clarification by flotation, the juice was inoculated with selected dry yeasts and cool-fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 14° C to 16° C for 20 days. Following the completion of the fermentations, the tanks were topped up and the wines left on their lees for just over a month in order to gain complexity before being blended and readied for bottling.
