  • Production

    The varietals were fermented separately. The grapes were destemmed and went through pre-fermentation maceration which lasted 48 hours. Fermentation commenced in stainless steel tanks using cultured yeast for 7-8 days at 24-26°C. The wine was matured in tank for 12 to 18 months with 3 of these months on its lees and it underwent 100% malolactic fermentation. The varietals were blended and after fining and filtration the wine was bottled and released straight away. Residual sugar 5.2g/l, acidity 5.6g/l, pH 3.55.
