in the cellar : It was then bunch sorted, destemmed and berry sorted on vibration tables by 25 highly trained staff. The berries were gently crushed into a satellite tank and deposited in a closed fermenter. After a cold soak of 12 hours the juice was drained and allowed to settle for 48 hours to remove the course sediment. It was then racked to a fermentation tank and allowed to warm up before being inoculated with Vin 13 yeast.

Fermentation took 18 days to complete at 14 ?C. The wine was left to settle and fined for protein stabilization. It was given a coarse sheet filtration prior to bottling.
