Vinification
The grapes received partial skin contact and were gently pressed, retaining freshness. Fermentation lasted 3 weeks at 15˚C. A 8% Semillon component was fermented in new French oak barrels for 3 weeks, adding additional body and dimension. It was left on the lees for 5 months post fermentation, adding to the depth of flavour.
