The fruit is hand harvested into 15kg baskets and transferred to the winery. The fruit is whole cluster crushed
into the press and drained off into tank for settling. Primary fermentation takes place in barrique (30% new) over 3 weeks followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring occurs twice towards the end of
primary fermentation then once more at the completion of malolactic fermentation.
