WINEMAKING
Hand-harvested from Sandhill Estate Vineyard. Gentle crush, then fermented in small open top fermenters. Full malolactic fermentation. Each varietal is aged individually in oak barrels for 18 months, then the top barrels are selected and blended together, then returned to oak barrels for a further 2 months to allow integration in barrel before bottling. Aged in new (25%) and older, American oak (80%) and French oak (20%) barrels.
