Winemaking

 

Bell Block was separated into 2 separate press fractions and fermented separately in tank using 2 different yeasts suited to express the aromatics of a Pinot Noir Rose wine style. The A Block Pinot Noir was a small portion of Saignee in the blend providing extra colour and aromatics to the final blend. Saignee is the French technique of ‘bleeding’ off red juice from a tank of red must before it starts fermenting. This juice is then fermented as a white wine. The 3 components were then blended following a short time in tank on light yeast lees. 

Vintage

 

Near perfect weather patterns over the flowering period and through December resulted in even crops and healthy canopies to ripen the fruit. The weather took a turn in February with above average rainfall and cooler temperatures for the month. Perfect ripening conditions then ensued through the remainder of the month and into March. Daily monitoring of our vineyards over the period of harvest was key to maintaining wine quality throughout the season.
