Wine Description
A combination of hand and machine-picked fruit was destemmed to a combination of open and static fermenters. Generally, ferments were cold soaked, with a controlled ferment allowing for considered and gentle maceration on skins. Wines spent 2-6 weeks on skins depending on the parcel and fermenter, with MLF complete before pressing off skins to tank for a quick settle before racking to oak. Wines then spent the next 18 months in French oak barriques (30% new) with no racking or movement – just a monthly topping. Cabernet blends were assembled according to barrel selection, prior to a light egg fining, long-term settle in tank and filtration before bottling.
