Production Details The grapes were hand-picked in several vineyard passes and chilled before pressing. De-stemming, crushing and light pressing then took place followed by overnight settling of the juice. A portion of the grapes was whole-bunch pressed to help preserve the acidity. This complex, finely-crafted Chenin Blanc was matured in neutral French oak barrels. The wine was on its lees for 9 months and given regular stirrings. After settling naturally, the wine was carefully racked and then given a light fining and bottled with no filtration.
