Fermentation was carried out with specially selected yeasts, and the must was hand-plunged up to six times daily at peak activity. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed and racked to a mix of 6% new French oak and seasoned 225-litre barriques. Over ten months of maturation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, with regular tasting to monitor development. Once the perfect balance was achieved, the wine was carefully blended and prepared for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSourced from Marlborough’s exquisite Southern Valleys sub-region. The fruit was selected from low cropping vineyard sites that produce tight bunches with s mall berries which intensifies the flavour and concentration of the wine.
