Winemaking: The fruit was gently pressed cold and settled for 24 hours at 8 degrees celsius, before being racked to stainless steel tanks. The fermentations took place at between 13-19 degrees celsius. The fermentation of each parcel was stopped at just the right time when a friendly balance was achieved. The wine was then racked, blended, lightly fined and bottled in late January 2010.
