Vinification

The grapes are handpicked then gently whole bunched pressed. 30% is fermented in old barrel using wild yeasts giving the wine greater depth and complexity. 70% is fermented in stainless steel using cultured yeast to capture the lively fresh aromas and fruit purity. Extended yeast lees contact adds weight and richness to the palate. Cellaring potential – drinks well now and will mature gracefully over several years.
