in the cellar : Chardonnay was pressed lightly, cold settled & fermented to dryness. The Pinot Noir was harvested before the onset of full colour development in the vineyard and pressed after 3 hours of skin contact. This resulted in a perfect coral pink coloured juice with fresh fruity flavours developing after fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
