Cork dork winemaking info: Harvested in late October on the 24th of 2008, the clusters of this fruit were ready to be picked. Hand sorted and de-stemmed the 2 and half tons of fruit was placed into fermentation bins and cold soaked for 2 days for flavor extraction. We pitched it with BDX yeast feeding with minimal nutrients as the levels of the fruit looked good off the vine.
