: The pinot was picked into thirteen very distinct lots and fermented separately in stainless steel open top fermenters. 25% whole bunch on average for texture and extraction of more tannin. 7-10 days cold soak at 8-12°celsius. Indigenous yeast was used to ferment the wines to dryness. The wines were hand plunged three times a day. 7-10 days of fermentation with a peak temperature of 33° Celsius. Post maceration 7-10 days at an average 20-25° Celsius. The wines spent a total of 25 days on skins, to extract structure, colour, aromatics and finesse. The wines were then gently drained and pressed to 225 litre french oak barriques of which 25% were new 3 year air dried French oak and the remainder one and two years older. The wines then rested and matured for ten months on yeast lees. 100% malolactic fermentation naturally occurred in spring. The wines were then racked and blended before undergoing minimal fining and minimal filtration, then bottling. Hence the wines may throw a natural sediment, so please be aware especially when pouring the last glass.
