Winemaking
Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into our Yarra Yering half-tonne open fermenters. Hand plunged twice daily until fermentation is complete, some extended time on skins until tannins soften before deciding to press based on taste. Gravity filled to 2 French oak Bordeaux shaped barrels, one new and one two-year-old for 18 months completing malolactic fermentation in the cool underground cellars.
