Whole bunch pressed straight to barrel (a combination of barriques and puncheons of which 30% were new oak). The wine had zero malolactic fermentation with some partial battonage. To maintain brightness and purity, and to add complexity, a separate component was fermented in stainless steel and kept on lees for six months.
From Block 12A, where clone 95 has been grafted on to 20yo I10V1, whole-bunch pressed to French oak (30% new) except for a parcel that was tank-fermented and ‘retained in tank for blending if so required'. Lighter, brighter and fresher than its sibling, but without the depth, yet shares the same piercing drive.
