Treatment in the cellar

The grapes for Haskell Dombeya Merlot were harvested by hand at different stages of ripeness and mixed with selected yeast cultures before fermentation. Fermentation was temperature-controlled at 25-28°C and lasted for about 11-15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in both steel tanks and oak barrels and was only partially allowed and stopped before completion. The wine then matured for 16 months in French barriques, 30% of which were new wood and the rest second and third fillings.
