Vinification Details

The grapes went into cold storage overnight before
being de-stemmed and crushed straight into the
press. The free run and first press juice was kept
separate from the heavy pressed juice. After 2 days
of settling at between 11-14◦C, the juice was racked
of its lees and inoculated with a carefully selected
cultivated yeast. Fermentation took place at 18◦C
for 2 weeks. The wine was, thereafter, lightly fined
and filtered before being bottled.
