FRUIT SELECTION
Grapes for 2024 F-Series Estate Rose were harvested from organically grown vines at the back of the winery. Soils here are of the old riverbed type; fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone laced with quartz and feldspar), mixed alluvial gravel and silt. This blend is made of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Montepulciano.
WINEMAKING
Fruit is all hand harvested then whole bunch pressed. 60% of this parcel of fruit was fermented in a variety of seasoned oak and stainless steel vessels. 40% underwent wild fermentation. The wine spent 6 months on fermentation lees prior to being blended and bottled with minimal fining.
