“Three tonnes of fruit are split into three fermenters, one sees 40% whole bunches and a three-week post-fermentation maceration and the other two are destemmed and are soaked for even longer. Old French oak and minimal sulphur complete the picture. Gertie is as vital and engaging as any cab franc I have ever tasted. It sells out in seconds in Australia”
