Vinification

The parcels of fruit were fermented in stainless steel vertical fermenters for 4-6 days between 26-28ºC. The wine was then pressed at 1 Baume and left to ferment until dry, then racked onto French oak for its malolactic fermentation. Once secondary fermentation was complete the wines were then clarified via centrifuge into a combination of premium French staves in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels for ageing. The wines were carefully monitored and when it was decided that the oak level was at its optimum, blending trials commenced.
