VINIFICATION
The grapes for this wine were sourced from our local growers as well as the historic Audrey Wilkinson vineyard. The grapes were harvested in January and immediately whole bunch pressed, cold settled and 30% of the blend racked to French oak barriques and puncheons and the other portion to tank for fermentation. No secondary malolactic fermentation took place in order to retain fruit freshness. The wine was matured for a 8 months with the barrels stirred fortnightly to enhance texture. The wine was racked and lightly fined with skim milk, filtered and bottled.
