The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot fruit was de-stemmed & crushed to open fermenters, for a short soak. Fermentation peak at 28˚C with pump overs up to 4 times daily. It was then drained & pressed after 8 to 10 days on skins. Settled for 24 hours before racking to oak for malolactic fermentation. It was then blended to tank after 12 months maturation in seasoned French oak puncheons and hogsheads to make this Langhorne Creek Cleanskin blend. Drinking well now, through to 2024 with careful cellaring.
