Production Details All grapes were hand picked at optimal ripeness and brought to the cellar in 500kg bins. They were whole-bunch pressed using a very slow and gentle pressing cycle. The juice was settled for 24 - 48 hours and racked to a fermentation tank where commercial yeasts were added. After the onset of fermentation, the must was moved to different fermentation vessels including 225L barrels and 400L Clayvers where fermentation ran its course. Regular topping and batonage was done during the maturation process that lasted 9 months. The wine was blended and lightly filtered before bottling in November 2025. Production: 550 9L cases.
