The Vineyards
The Grenache for this wine was sourced from Wellington.
The winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested at 23 balling. They were fermented at between 18 and 22 degrees for 7 days on the skins and malo-lactic fermentation was done in tank. The wine was matured in shaven French barrels to ensure micro oxidation and polymerisation of the tannins with minimal wood.
