The fruit was hand-picked, de-stemmed and held with the skins in the press for 24 hours. The free run and light pressings were combined and cold settled. The fermentations were carried out in stainless steel, and stopped with some residual sugar to aid texture and mouthfeel. The wine was aged on lees for 4 months before bottling in late September.
