In The Vineyard
Specially selected vineyards from different slopes and different soils were used for this blend. The cool nights and cool South-westerly wind in the
afternoons, cool the vineyards down and help to form the elegant fruit flavours. Soil types consist of weathered granite to deep red and well drained soils.
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, supplement irrigation
Yield: 10 t/ha
Balling at Harvest: 21-23°B
In The Cellar
Vinification: Crush and destemmed, skin contact for 16 hours, 18 days fermentation at 14°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness.
Maturation: Left on lees for 2 months to add complexity
