  • After settling for 48 hours the clear juice was racked off and inoculated with a specific Rose yeast which enhances the red berry flavour from the grapes.
  • Fermentation was done in a stainless steel tank and lasted 23 days at 13 - 15°C.
  • The wine was then lightly filtered prior to bottling.
