| Vinification |
The individual parcels of grapes are cooled, hand sorted then whole bunch pressed to separate the finest free run juice. In addition a light pressing cuts is taken and made separately for later blending. After minimal settling, the juices are allowed to ferment naturally in 50 % older French oak and 50% stainless steel. The oak is composed of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. Fermentation temperature is between 18 °C to 22 °C and the lees are stirred weekly from later in the fermentation until dry. The separate parcels are matured on lees in barrel and tank for 10 months and a portion of each batch undergoes malolactic conversion. |
