in the cellar : After destemming and crushing the mash was cooled to 12° C. The mash underwent a 24 hour maceration period to add extra complexity. After a gentle press, the Chenin Blanc juice was innoculated with the finest French yeast and fermentation took about 10 days. The wine spent six months on the lees and was bottled after fining and cold stabilization.
