The fruit for this wine was machine picked and gently pressed to stainless steel tanks. It was then cold settled and racked to combination of stainless-steel tanks and older barriques for fermentation. A percentage of the solids were left in to add texture and weight to the wine. There was approximately a 50/50 stainless steel/oak split with a 10% new oak component for fermentation on staves. All parcels were kept separate throughout fermentation and maturation with them maturing on lees for approximately 6 months prior to blending, fining, stabilisation and filtration.
