Winemaking: The grapes were manually pressed using an old basket press, with the press cycle taking up to 24 hours to complete. The juice was given 1 night of settling in stainless-steel tanks, before racking off the gross lees into used oak barrels of 228L. Fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. No stirring of the fine lees (battonage) and the wine completed malolactic fermentation. No sulfur additions were made during the vinification of this wine.
