Winemaker's Comments
The fruit is destemmed and then whole fruit is transferred to small open fermenters. The fermentation lasts up to 10 days at moderate temperatures. During the fermentation the wine is taken away from the skins and returned over the skins to progress gentle extraction of the flavours and tannins. Carbonic maceration techniques are used on a small portion of the grapes to give and extra level of flavour.
