About The Harvest

16th March 2023

In The Cellar

The grapes were destemmed and crushed and the colour extracted from the skins during the pressing of the grapes in the winepress. The juice settled for 24 hours, was racked and then yeast was added.
Cold fermentation took 5 weeks and the wine was left for 4 weeks on the fermentation lees.

The wine is unwooded and was protein stabilized prior to bottling. During the bottling process the wine was lightly filtered.
