Unique harvest technique brings the fruit to the crush pad in three separate harvests. The early pick is to capture the natural acidity, second pick to focus on the fruit driven flavors, the late pick is all about spice and body component. First batch is kicked-off with a commercial yeast while the second and third picks are added to the feremnting tank.
