Winemaking
The grapes were harvested at 24˚B for optimal fruit expression. Cold soaking in the press was implemented to extract just enough colour and aroma without excessive tannins. Cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks took place after which the wine spent a few months on fine lees. Gentle fining and filtration was done prior to bottling.
