Production Details The grapes were harvested early in the morning by hand to keep the fruit cool. They were loaded straight into the press for a gentle whole-bunch press cycle. The juice was clarified using the cold settling technique and allowed to settle for 48 hours. The clean juice was racked too the fermentation tank where it completed its alcoholic (primary) fermentation at 14 °C. The MCC was allowed to age under crown cap for 63 months, after which the wine was disgorged, and a small amount of Dosage was added.
