Winemaking: The Riverland region has fertile soil and makes the ideal climate to produce high quality wines. The fruit was picked in the first weeks of February and immediately crushed, destemmed, and chilled to drainer and screw-press to minimise juice contact with the skins of the grape. The juice was then fermented at temperatures of 14° – 16°C in large steel tanks, insulated to preserve temperature and using a carefully selected yeast to optimise varietal expression. Finally, the wine was blended and filtered for bottling as soon as possible to retain freshness and crisp fruit flavours.
