WINEMAKING
The fruit was machine harvested and gently passed through a sorting table to ensure only perfect berries made it to the open fermenter. As a result, the fermenter retained many whole berries. The cool temperature of the fruit allowed a slow start to fermentation. The ferments were pumped over and plunged two to three times a day, temperature was held around 22°C to prevent over extraction of tannins locked in the skins. The wine was gently pressed and transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. After the desired amount of barrel maturation had been achieved the wine was fined then bottled.
