Wneneling:

    With minimal intervention, Ben Glaetzer makes unique, elegant wines which are regarded as dassis and unmistakably Ba-rossan. With quality fruit as the priority, a specfic neutral strain of yeast is used for all ferments and is selected to help express the fruits natural flavours. All pump-over regimes are dependent on the itial flavour of the fruitbut generally theypump over twice dailly and chill if required. Ferments receive an extended period of time on skins which Ben feels addssoftness, palate structure and tannin development. The wine is then pressed and transferred to French and Americanhogshead barrels to undergo natural malolactic fermentation. It is racked and matured for a further 12 to 18 monthsdepending on the vintage.
