Vine to Wine

Hand-picked fruit was destemmed back into bins to "cold soak" for 72 hrs in order to extract some colour, flavour and textural compounds from the skins before pressing.
The free run juice and pressings were fermented separately and aged separately. The free run juice was aged in stainless steel after a long cool ferment. The pressings are aged in lee for a year for the next vintage. Pressings left on lees for 10 months from the previous vintage (approx. 8%) are blended into this wine prior to bottling to add texture to the finish.
