Making Techniques | Hand picked grapes stored at 0ºc for 48 Hours in a cool room, before gentle crushing and cold soak for a further 10 days. The must was then warmed and fermentation commenced with punch downs and pigeage. Half way through fermentation of the Syrah, fresh Viognier juice and Viognier lees were added to aid colour stability and to add glycerol, perfume and complexity to the wine. |
