WINEMAKING
All fruit was selective machine picked in the cool of the early morning. The malbec fruit was then destemmed without crushing and transferred into a static fermenter. The petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon were crushed and transferred to open fermenters. Colour and phenolics were gently extracted using aerative and closed pump over and punch down techniques. The batches were co-inoculated for MLF and pressed off skins at or around 0°Be. Once primary fermentation and MLF were completed in tanks the wines were transferred to a mixture of new and old French oak barriques for fourteen months maturation. The wine was blended in early August 2022 before being filtered in preparation for bottling in late August 2022.
