The principle behind the First Cut wines is based on the winemaking term "first cut." During the pressing cycle, the softer free-run juice/wine is separated from the second cut or pressings. This method ensures wines with excellent drinkability, making them ideal for enjoying with food or as a casual drink with friends.

Vineyards:

This vineyard is in a slightly warmer part of the hills producing wines with great flavour intensity, Due to the elevation of this site and the cooler nights the wines produced retain natural acidity and freshness.

Winemaking:
De-stemmed but not crushed, pressed off skins to stainless steel, then clarified and fermented at cool temperatures using a varietal enhancing yeast. Left on lees for 2 months then blended and stabilised before being clarified.
