• Hand-harvested, destemmed, crushed, then pressed immediately.
• The varietals were blended, chilled and transported to the winery in Melbourne to ensure the juice was kept as fresh as possible during the six-hour commute.
• Cold settled for two weeks to extract most of the tartrates and settle the juice of any impurities
• Racked and left to undergo natural fermentation.
• When the sugar levels began to near ideal bottling levels, the juice was cooled again to slow the ferment for a consistent bottling.
• Bottled with 12 g/L of sugar and left for two weeks to finish fermentation in bottle.

Lounging near a large body of water, and paired with fatty foods like fried chicken orinihaw na baboy.
