Hand harvesting is carried out in the early hours of the morning to keep the fruit cool and maintain quality and pristine fruit characters. Only free run juice and light pressings are used. The juice is kept cold and allowed to settle naturally - there is no filtration. The juice is racked off solids once it is bright and clear, allowed to warm to ambient temperature and then inoculated with a selected yeast strain. Most of the ferment is maintained at 13 – 15 C over three weeks. This allows for maximum fruit character to be retained.
