Following hand harvest in late March, the fruit was gently crushed into an open fermenter and left to ferment using wild yeast only. No additives, tannins or ferment aids were used across the winemaking process. The must was hand plunged for several days and then gently pumped over as required before basket pressed after 9 days.
