Winemaking

The Petit Verdot of Mystic Winery comes from eleven small terraced plots with a total planting area of 5.73 mu. The rainfall in 2020 was significantly higher than previous years and the harvest time of Petit Verdot was delayed by ten days. To obtain optimum maturity of grapes, the winery used an automated stem remover to separate the mature berries from the stem. These berries are then gently transferred into the fermentation tank. Then cold soaked to extract colours and flavour compounds from the skins. Fermentation is controlled to provide elegant tannins and the fine body structure. MLF was completed in new French oak barrels and the wine was aged for a further eleven months before filtration and bottling.
