in the cellar : The grapes were hand picked in the early morning from sixteen year-old low crop bush vines. After the grapes were lightly crushed, the free run juice was cold-fermented at 13°C. Reductive winemaking techniques were used to ensure minimal contact with oxygen, thus preserving fruit character. It was then lightly filtered and bottled.
