Hawkes Bay Esk Valley The Terraces
Product Description
This wine is a vineyard blend with the
individual plots of Malbec, Merlot and
Cabernet Franc being harvested and
processed together. The grapes were hand
harvested, sorted and destemmed to a 70
year old concrete fermenter for
fermentation. A selected yeast strain was
utilised for fermentation and hand plunging
employed for cap management. The finished
was aged in new French oak barriques for 21
months and given a light egg white fining
prior to bottling.
