WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted from 100% Mataro grapes grown in the Riverland region of South Australia. The grapes are harvested early to retain natural acidity and freshness. Following a gentle pressing with minimal skin contact to achieve its delicate pale pink hue, the juice undergoes cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This preserves the vibrant primary fruit aromatics and crisp profile, avoiding oak contact to maintain purity.
