Harvest date: 18, 19 and 22 February Grapes were hand-picked on three different dates to obtain the full flavour spectrum of this grape.
Sorted across sorting tables before being de-stemmed into our stainless steel basket press. Clear juice was fermented for 15 days with indigenous yeasts. 15% of this vintage was fermented in 4th fill, French oak, 300L barrels. The wine was stirred for a 4 week period after fermentation, thus forcing the fine lees into suspension, creating a rich mouthfeel.Bottled: 27 June 2013
