Winemaking Notes
All grapes were hand harvested early mornings at 22-24 balling from 3 different blocks to retain freshness and aromatics. Grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness. The grapes were not de- stemmed and the whole bunches were lightly pressed to ensure good quality juice for
fermentation. After pressing the juice is settled for 48 hours with a settling enzyme before it was racked to the 5000 L wooden fermentation tanks. The grapes from each vineyard were individually vinified. The bulk of the wine was fermented in wooden tanks at temperatures around 20°C and left on the lees for four months to accentuate the pronounced fruit character. Fermentation took about 15 days. After 4 months of lees contact the wine was blended and bottled.
