WINEMAKING NOTES
Premium fruit parcels from our 1930 and 1963 blocks were carefully selected and handpicked for this wine. It was chilled to 12 degrees overnight, before being whole-bunch pressed to stainless tanks where it then spent 3 hours to settle in tank. The wine was transferred to 40% new French oak and 60% old French oak to continue its wild ferment. It then spent 7 months maturing in barrel on lees.
