Production Details All components were crushed and destemmed (except for the Cinsaut which was 30% whole bunch) and naturally fermented. After fermentation the different varietals were pressed and kept separate in 225L barrels. In June the barrels were first racked and the Divergent blend was then made up after which the wine spent a further 6 months in barrel until bottling at the end of the year.
