Background: The many parcels making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in three five seven and 10 tonne open top vessels. Regular pump overs three times daily were performed during the peak of fermentation to extract flavours colour and tannins. At pressing the free run and pressings were combined to tank then racked to barrel for oak maturation where malolactic fermentation occurred. All batches were kept separate and blended just prior to bottling
