Wine-
maker's Notes:
Individual blocks were picked and processed separately. The grapes were gently destemmed and crushed into fermentation vessels. The must was inoculated and fermented on skins for between 7-10 days, being gently hand plunged up to six times daily. Some batches were left on skins for 10-15 days after fermentation. The grapes were basket pressed and most of the pressings were combined with the freely drained
wine. The wine was matured in barrels for 7 months prior to bottling.
Barrel: A Combination of new seasoned 1,2,and 3 year old French Oak was used.
