The grapes were harvested at around 21.5 brix on the 14th March and placed in a cold store overnight. After bunch sorting 50% of the whole bunches were loaded into the tank with the remainder of the fruit destemmed and crushed on top. After a 5-day cold soak the fermentation started spontaneously. The wine spent a total of 23 days on the skins. After which it was drained and pressed to a concrete egg for Malolactic Fermentation.
