The Merlot and Cabernet Franc fruit however, were harvested during the coolest part of the very early morning to achieve \u0026lt;10C fruit temperature so it could be cold soaked on skins for ~5 days prior to fermentation of which part was fermented wild with indigenous yeasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe selectively harvested fruit was destemmed with any additional MOG (Material Other than Grapes) such as leaves being removed before the berries were transferred to small stainless steel static fermenters.  The Cabernet Sauvignon underwent partial wild fermentation before a select yeast culture was added at a low rate to finish fermentation which lasted 10 days. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc underwent partial wild fermentation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon remained on skins for another 3-5 days before being pressed into French oak hogsheads (300L) of which ~14% were new (the balance 1-2yr French oak hogsheads) where they underwent malolactic fermentation. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc however, were pressed off skins just prior to dryness to achieve the desired blending styles and they were matured separately in seasoned French oak puncheons (500L). No pressings fractions were kept separate.

Our vineyards had ideal canopies and crop loads coming into ripening from the work done during the growing season so faired brilliantly in these potentially challenging conditions.
