Trays with whole bunches are placed in the winery cool room for overnight chilling. A long slow gentle press cycle is used and pressing can take up to 3 hours. Free run juice is put straight to barrel for fermentation. The wines are lees stirred after ferment, and the wine remains sur lee until final blending. About 50% underwent malo-lactic fermentation with total time in barrel of 12 months.
Roast Pumpkin Risotto, Pork Terrine, Softshell Crab.
