WINEMAKING NOTES
Blocks were machine harvested and gently pressed. The free run and press juice were separated, and the pressings allowed to oxidise out the phenolics to give a finer palate. Majority of the juices were fermented cool in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts to ensure a clean aromatic profile from this delicate variety,
with 10% fermented in neutral French barriques for additional layers of complexity. At completion of ferment, the wines are allowed to mature on the fine yeast lees to help build the texture of the wine.
