Harvest

The grapes were hand selected from our vineyard blocks located on Gimblett Road. The fruit was in excellent condition at harvest.

Vinification

The grapes were whole berry pressed and the juice was cold settled. The juice was racked off lees and inoculated with yeast. Fermentation was controlled and the temperature was maintained between 12-15 degrees. After fermentation the wine was left on yeast lees for 3 months. Prior to bottling the wine was blended, fined, stabilized and filtered.
