Ursa Major 2023 Congregation of Jackals Gewurtztraminer 750ml

Organically farmed from Vantage Point Vineyard in Kaleden.

A small portion of the fruit was kept whole cluster and was foot treaded for 3 days, then gently basket pressed and fermented naturally in stainless steel where it rested on gross lees for 6 months. The main portion was whole bunch direct pressed into 500L puncheons where the juice fermented naturally and left to age for 6 months on lees. 25ppm of sulphur was added after primary and secondary fermentations were complete. Both portions were blended prior to being bottled unfined, unfiltered and by hand. Then kept in bottle for an additional 7 months.
