A blend of three vineyards. In the cellar, an average of 27% whole bunches are added to the fermenter and the remaining fruit is gently destemmed (not crushed) and sorted to remove any shrivelled berries. Cold soaked for 5 days prior to the beginning of natural fermentation (no yeast added.) Gentle, cool fermentation minimises over-extraction. Basket pressed to oak after 15-20 days fermentation. Matured in a mixture of new (51%) and older (49%) French oak puncheons (500L). Aged on fine lees with minimal sulphur additions. Bottled December 2020 sans filtration. Screw cap | 14.0% abv.
