Clark Wines Golden

Description

Fruit was picked in two batches, the first on the 7th of March , which was de-stemmed and left on skins to cold soak, with the second pick on the 9th of March left as whole bunches.

After 11days fermenting on skins, the grapes were pressed and finished the fermentation in mature french oak barriques. Full wild malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. On the 9th of August, the wine was racked from barrel and blended into a stainless steel tank The wine was racked and returned into a stainless steel tank 1 final time, with a small portion being set aside.
