Technical Notes The grapes were crushed and pressed and allowed to settle with the help of pectolytic enzymes. The clean juice was racked off after 24 hours and fermented in a new 500L Francois Frere blond toast barrel. The wine was sulphured at the completion of alcoholic fermentation to inhibit MLF. This was done to keep the freshness and natural vibrant acidity in the wine. The wine was left on gross lees and intermittent batonage was performed for 6 months. The total time in barrel was 11 months. After which the wine was stabilized and clarified through filtration.
