Sourced from the Mount Camel Ranges in northern section of Heathcote. Handpicked and refrigerated for 2 days. 1/3rd remained as whole bunches for whole bunch fermentation; 2/3rds was destemmed and a few whole bunches (~5%) remained in the ferment. 2 week ferment (1 plunge and/or pumpover per day), 2 week post-ferment maceration, pressed to barrel for MLF. 6 month maturation in old (6/7 year) french oak barriques. Racked twice and no filtration or fining to bottle. Crunchy acid and tannin profile compliment the bright juicy fruit. – Valentine Wines
