Winemaker Notes
The fruit was sourced from the MacGregor Vineyard in Edna Valley. After harvest, the fruit was sorted and gently destemmed into small 1.5 ton fermenters. After a 2-3 day cold soak the fermentation began natively. At around 0 Brix, the free run was drained and the must gently pressed directly to barrel where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine aged for 9 months in 15% new French oak.
