WINEMAKING
The Petit Verdot batches came in clean and vibrant on the fifteenth of March
with analytical specs of: 14.0 – 14.3 °Be, 11.5 – 11.7 g/L TA and 3.47 – 3.54
ph. The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the night and crushed
to open fermenters. Colour and phenolics were gently extracted using aerative
and closed punch down techniques. The batches were co-inoculated for MLF
and pressed off skins at or around 0°Be. Once primary fermentation and MLF
were completed in tank and barrel the wine was racked to a mixture of new
and old French oak barrels for eighteen months maturation. The wine was
then blended in late October, before being filtered in preparation for bottling
in November 2021.
