WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wayfinder Syrah 2022 was produced from hand-harvested and sorted Syrah grapes. Up to 25% whole clusters were included in open-top fermentation tanks, which underwent a 3-day cold soak. Fermentation was initiated with ICV D80 yeast, with twice-daily pump-overs and occasional punch-downs. After two weeks on skins, free-run juice was gravity-drained, and the remaining skins were gently pressed. The wine aged for 10 months in used French oak barriques and puncheons, with malolactic fermentation induced in barrel. It was then racked, assembled in tank, and lightly filtered before bottling.
