winemaking
The grapes were whole bunch pressed, without settling, directly to French barriques, 40% of which were new and 60% of which were one year old. The wine underwent wild fermentation and spent 8 months on lees. After fermentation, the barrels were topped and stirred only once before being lightly fined and bottled in December 2019.

Hand-picked, chilled to 5 degrees C, whole-bunch pressed to barriques (40% new) with full solids. A lovely wine, immaculate balance and length, grapefruit/nectarine fruit, freshness the order of the day.
