Handling: Hand Picked into small 25 kg picking bins allowing the fruit to arrive at the winery’s sorting table intact. Fruit was hand sorted, crushed and de-stemmed. Cold soak skin maceration for 24 hours. Juice yielded less than 600 litres per tonne and transferred into stainless steel fermentation tank.
36 hours of natural cold settling then racked off gross lees.
Fermentation: Fermented with commercial yeast strain W15 . Fermentation temperature set to 12.5 degrees Celsius and began November 8th 2009.
The wine was kept on lees until January 25th, 2010.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
