Winemaking
Hand-picked in ideal condition and ripeness on the 8th April 2020. Fully destemmed, with approximately 6 hours of skin contact. Only free-run juice used, indigenous yeast ferment in a stainless steel tank. The winemaking was very much in keeping with the traditional practices of the Old World. The winemaker, Rudi Bauer has combined these techniques, and his own personal understanding, to create this wine.
