Winemaking

Winemaking

The fruit for this wine was picked on the 19th March 2020 using a selective harvester. The juice was fermented using wild yeasts and carefully selected cultures which promote fruit and spice characters. For 12 – 18 months, parcels of this wine were matured in old French to provide complexity and contribute lovely vanillin notes. A dash of Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the final blend to provide a black cherry perfume lift and further structure on the palate.
