about the harvest: Grapes were hand picked in the early mornings and then transferred to the cellar. On arrival the grapes were sorted and all damaged or undesired berries were removed. It was then destalked, crushed and then pumped into 2500 and 5000- litre stainless steel tanks. Yeast was added and once fermentation has started, the juice was pumped over the skins 3 – 4 times daily to extract colour, tannins and flavour. Once fermentation was completed, the wine was left on the skins for a further 5 – 8 days. The wine was then racked off the skins to the barrels where malo-latic fermentation was completed.
