Winemaking Notes
The grape bunches were hand-sorted, and once de-stemmed, the berries were sorted by hand on the way to the tank. This was followed by a cold soak for four to five days, depending on flavor extraction. The fruit was then fermented with 100% native wild yeast in small open-top fermentors for two to three weeks. Towards the end of fermentation, the fruit was gently pressed and moved to barrel. The wine finished fermenting in barrel, which helped integrate the flavors from the oak. The wine continued to age in 67% new French oak for fifteen months. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
