Winemaking: Approximately 2/3 of the grapes were de-stemmed and 1/3 left as whole bunches. The de-stemmed grapes and whole bunches were macerated in a stainless-steel tank for 14-days, with a light pump-over once a day. Fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. On the 15th day the grapes were manually pressed using an old basket press and transferred back to stainless-steel tank to complete fermentation. After malolactic fermentation the juice was racked into old 500L barrels and a low dose of sulfur added.

Maturation: Aged 8 months in used oak barrels of 500L. Bottled without fining or filtration.
