Winemaking Note	Two 675L ceramic eggs were used. Egg 1 - The hand-picked fruit was 100% destemmed and mechanically berry-sorted, and crushed (no whole berries). These have been tipped in the egg by bucket for fermentation, and remained on skins for 160 days. The wine has been decanted from the sunken skins, and no pressings used. Egg 2 - Whole bunches have been pressed using a basket press, fermented off skins. The final blend was 60% extended skin contact batch with 40% without skins batch, and matured in the eggs until late September. No fining.
