Growing Conditions
Constant rain periods then meant everyone had to be on high alert for fungal diseases and picking was sometime dictated by incoming rain events.
Winemaking
Pre-fermentation cold soaking followed by a clean, warm (25-30 °C) ferment. The wine was open fermented with twice daily pump-overs, using a specialised gentle tannin extraction method, also 2 x rack-returns during ferment.
