Winemaker Notes
The grapes are hand selected and picked into small lug boxes and transported directly to the winery. Our red wines are made in open fermenters and punched down by hand six times a day. Soft pressed, press juice added to free run. Al processes are temperature controlled. We do not fine our wines and only one light single pass filtration pre-bottling. We endeavour to bring our fruit to the bottle in the most direct and pure fashion possible, and in this way expressing our terrior.
This vineyard is 9 years old. It’s planted on an northern slope of cartref soils that have a high gravel content. To maintain the integrity of our fruit, all our grapes are harvested by hand into small lug boxes, and transported directly to the winery. All our vineyards are planted high density and have low to very low yields and are managed according to minimal intervention philosophy.
