So just like a freestyler, no form, no script - I thought I might let the grapes sit in the bin for a bit, maybe sleep on it for a day or two to see how it goes. I applied the same theory after ferment, let it freestyle on lees until it’s bottled. To build texture I just occasionally drove the barrels around my bumpy winery yard to mix up the light lees.
