about the harvest: Hand picked at 24 degrees balling, de-stemmed and lightly crushed to press. The Viognier was left on the skins for 24hrs to enhance the floral aromas. Cold settled for 24 hours and then a portion was gravity fed to new 300 l French oak barrels in which fermentation and battonage for four months took place. The rest was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on wood staves for four months. Stabilisation and rough filtration followed before bottling.
