Production Details The grapes were de-stemmed, whereafter skin contact followed for two hours. Great care was taken to ensure clear, free-run juice is extracted before fermentation, as it infuses the pure, concentrated fruitiness of the dry land grapes into the wine. The wine was kept on the lees until bottling, with no lees stirring. No malolactic fermentation took place to keep the natural acidity of the grapes.
