Vinification
Following the hand harvest, the fruit was 50% de-stemmed and fermented quite warm at 25-35 degrees Celsius in cement tanks for a week to 10 days, with some carbonic maceration. Following the malo-lactic fermentation the wine is racked and left in tank on fine lees for around 8-10 months prior to bottling.

Rose oil, cherry and strawberry, a little earth and spice, but mainly pretty and bright. Light to medium in body, frisky and sharp, a cranberry acidity and gentle grip of tannin, finish is tight and tangy with fresh strawberry acidity. Brisk. Good to drink.
