Analytical data
Vinification
Fruit from our certified organic Headwaters Vineyard was harvested in early April. The grapes were quickly pressed and after a little juice lees contact, clarified and fermented. A combination of selected and indigenous yeasts where used to capture the intense varietal flavours and build complexity. Malolactic fermentation softened and added texture to the palate. Strict organic procedures were followed at all times.
