in the cellar : After pressing, the juice was allowed to settle overnight - the clean juice was separated and selected yeast added. Initial temperatures were controlled at around 14°C but towards the final stages of fermentation it was allowed to rise to approximately 16°C thereby facilitating optimum conditions for completion of the process. After clarification the wine was stabilised for protein and tartrates.
