Harvest Notes
Fruit was hand harvested into small 12 kg picking cases. The fruit then passed over the sorting table to ensure the removal of any unwanted fruit, insects and leaves. The wine is 100% de-stemmed. Fermentation in stainless steel. Several days pre fermentation soak. Once fermentation started there were several punch downs which involved us getting into the tank to very gently mix the fruit.
