All grapes for the 2021 Field Recordings Skins blend were destemmed and left to rest on their skins for varying durations. The Verdelho spent only 48 hours on skins after being foot tread. The Chenin Blanc, Albarino, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Vermentino and Albillo Mayor fermented and then sat in sealed stainless steel tanks for anywhere between 25 and 45 days. Each lot was individually assessed and pressed at the precise moment when the tannins were softest.
