The fruit was picked to highlight the citrus spectrum, in particular grapefruit, hence the name ‰Û÷Verve‰Ûª which accurately describes the racy character of this wine. Whole bunches were chilled overnight prior to vinification in the gravity-fed winery. The grapes were whole bunched pressed and transferred by gravity to old French barriques at temperatures of 25 to 32å¡C. Spontaneous fermentation took place with indigenous vineyard yeasts. The wine spent 12 months in oak with full lees contact, imparting texture and complexity. The wine was gently fined and filtered prior to bottling.
