Free-run juice and pressings into same tank for fermentation followed. The fermentation temperature was maintained between 16 – 18°C. The wine fermented dry and was left on primary lees for 1 month to enhance richness of flavours. The wine will remain in tank until bottling takes place in November 2004.
