Winemaker Notes

The fruit’s harvesting spanned a week to capture a range of varietal characters. Individual batches underwent cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel, featuring various yeast strains, as well as a wild ferment component in old oak barrels to introduce spice and intrigue. Evaluation of the components took place at the end of fermentation to craft an optimal blend of fruit characteristics and wine layers.
