Vinification Details
Grapes were de-stemmed and lightly crushed. Fermentation commences using cultured yeast and lasted for 7 days at 25C in stainless steel vats before pressing using a membrane press. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel & provide a rounder finish. The wine was then racked off its lees and matured in the tanks with the addition of oak staves for 6 months. The wine was fined and filtered prior to bottling.
