All grapes were sorted for quality purposes after arrival at the winery. Destemming & crushing followed after which the mash was conveyed to the presses via a mash cooling system that rapidly cooled the mash to 6- 8°C. Light pressing followed & the juice was settled overnight at about 10°C. The clarified juice was racked to a fermentation tank where it was inoculated with a chosen yeast strain. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at 18°C. Approx. 40% of wine started its fermentation in tank & was then transferred to barrel to finish its fermentation in Hungarian oak barrels. The wine was left in the barrels & on the coarse lees for up to 8 months. The lees was stirred up every two weeks to add to the complexity & structure of the wine.
