AWARDS

John Platter Wine Guide 2015 - 3 Stars

about the harvest: All grapes were handpicked and sorted in the vineyards.

in the cellar : A second berry sorting was done in the cellar, before a pure yeast culture was inocculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day and manuel punch downs done for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine’s transfer to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types. (25% New). The Ruby Cabernet was sourced from warmer areas to blend with the rest.
