Production Details Grapes are chilled in a cold room then pressed whole-bunch and the juice is allowed to settle overnight. Minimal SO2 is added and no further additions are made. The juice is then racked to tank (85%) and older French oak barrels (15%) for fermentation. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts and lasts up to 6 weeks. The barrels are racked and blended with the tank fermented portion and then bottled.
