WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Stargazer 2022 is produced using a minimalist, natural winemaking approach. Grapes are sourced from 22-year-old vines in the Cirrus Vineyard, farmed organically and biodynamically. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, incorporating 40% whole bunch fermentation and some carbonic maceration. The wine undergoes a skin contact period of 3-28 days. It is aged for 11 months in barriques with zero added sulphites, emphasizing a pure expression of the grape and terroir.
