DESCRIPTION
The fruit was machine harvested at night or in the cool of the morning, gently crushed and pressed then fermented with a variety of aromatic yeast strains in stainless steel tanks - the sole aim being to reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard. 7% of the juice fermentations were started with a non-saccharomyces yeast and 2% of the blend was barrel fermented. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for five months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates flavours.
Cellaring: Delicious upon release, this wine will improve for 3-5 years post vintage.
Ideal food matching: Crunchy Fish Tacos with zesty yoghurt, lime & chive sauce.
