Vinification
Hand-harvested and all bunches sorted personally by Matt in the vineyard before destemming (with the crusher/roller removed to maintain whole berries intact. Fermented with native yeasts in bins for approx 14 days with standard punchdowns done 2-4 times per day, before pressing and barrelling. MLF naturally occurred during late Autumn and the wine was sulphited once in the entire aging process. Wine was aged in 50% flextank and 50% used barrels (5th use). Wine was filtered and bottled after around 10 months of aging. RS 2.2g/l and PH 3.45

Pairings

Very versatile and pairs well with almost any type of food. Would go great with pulled pork and rich tomato based pasta sauces
