Winemaking Notes:   After harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and pressed under anaerobic conditions, and only the finest free-run juice was transferred where it was settled for 24 hours. The clear fraction of juice was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel using yeast strain (QA23) which is known for producing fresh fruit focused wines with floral and passionfruit characters.  Bottled with minimal preservatives and is vegan-friendly.
