Vinifikation We made 3 barrels using different techniques. Harvested at optimal ripeness, a little later than our barrel-fermented Chenin Blanc. Barrel 1 - destemmed and crushed, open fermentation with regular punchdowns for 1 week. Barrel 2 - whole bunch fermentation for 4 weeks. Barrel 3 - same as Barrel 1, but less skin contact. While Barrel 3 was the least interesting on its own, it blended well with Barrel 2, which was very tannic. Fermentation was with indigenous yeasts only, and nothing was added except a little SO2. All three barrels went through malolactic fermentation. We blended the wines after one year and aged them for another 7 months to soften the tannins before hand bottling unfiltered at the winery.
