About The Harvest

15 to 23 February 2023

In The Cellar

The grapes were pressed and the juice was allowed two days to settle. Yeast was added to start the fermentation process. The cold fermentation process took 3 weeks to complete. The wine was left on the fermentation lees for another 7 weeks to add more complexity. The wine was protein stabilized and a light filtration was done during the bottling process. The wine is well balanced and made in a fruity easy dinking style.
