Tech Details
Cold soaked for roughly 24 hours before being seated with Pris de Mouse yeast, known for good extractions of color and flavor. During fermentation, the wine was pumped over 3-4 times per day, depending on extraction rates etc. Fermentation took 7-10 days before being pressed off and inoculated with Malo Lactic Bacteria.
The wine was then aged on primary Med + French oak for 3-4 months.
