The fruit for this wine was hand picked from two separate sites on the Martinborough terraces. The first portion was whole bunch pressed, and racked directly to barrel where it underwent a spontaneous fermentation. The second portion was destemmed and held on its skins for 12 hours to extract flavour and phenolics. It was then pressed, settled for two days and racked to a stainless steel tank for a cool fermentation with cultured yeasts. After four months, the two portions were combined before protein stabilisation and filtration. The wine was bottled in September 2020.
