100% fermented using wild yeasts in stainless steel tank of which 50% was whole cluster. The grapes were selected from distinct parcels with varying soil types. This complexity in growing has resulted in a wonderful intricacy in the wine. The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness to enable the correct balance between sugar and phenolic components. Individual pickings were bunch and berry sorted, crushed and destalked to tank. Fermentation was initiated after 10 days cold soaking.
