Production Details Organically farmed, dry-farmed bush vines; fruit was chilled before processing. Fermentation began after about four days and lasted about 10 days, with daily pigeage. The wine matured for 23 months in 500L French-oak barrels (50% new), followed by 10 months in bottle. The bottling analysis also lists total extract 31.5, volatile acidity 0.76, total SO2 68 and free SO2 35, but the printed extraction does not supply units, so these are retained contextually rather than mapped to numeric canonical fields. Recommended service is 16–18°C; decanting is advised during the first three to five years after bottling.
