Longer on skins mostly destemmed and pressed to barrel just before the end of ferment. 3. Late pick, ripe, 100% whole bunch in a closed tank with very little work/extraction. Stayed on skins for approximately 45 days. This ferment was to be the structural component and more varietal fruit component. Small amount of sulphur added before bottling.
