Wine Production

Grapes arrived during the cool of the night, they were gently crushed into tank and given 12 hours skin maceration prior to draining and pressing. Wild yeasts then initiated and completed fermentation. Once complete, the wine was left on its lees and given regular bâttonage to build complexity until blending.
