Picking & Pressing
In conjunction with the phinolic lab results, the winemaker makes the call on ripeness and timing of the picking. The picked grapes are brought by tractor to the winery a journey of no more than one kilometre from any point on the farm.

Dependent on the virital and the climatic conditions on the day, the grapes are placed in a cold store overnight and then destemmed, hand sorted and crushed into stainless steel fermentation tanks. All reds go through alcohol fermentation in tank and malalactic fermentation in barrel.

Primary extraction is through punch downs and pump overs plus very light pressing before raking over to barrel.
