Vine to Wine

Harvested at dawn at 860m above sea level. The grapes were lightly pressed to extract free run juice and then tank fermented. Once fermentation was completed the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak barrels for ageing. Left on yeast lees with regular battonage to provide a more complex, savoury finish.
