Pressed lightly, settled in tank before the batch being split in two.15% was fermented in barrel whilst the balance was tank fermented.

The tank potion was fermented with a touch of residual sugar (RS) to balance with the fruity flavours.
Aged on its lees for 4months to add complexity.

This fresh, youthful style of wine is best consumed within 3 years of bottling.
