Garagiste Le Stagiaire Rose 2018 other white varietals Fruit is whole bunch pressedNew label, same deliciousness. Barney Flanders grows and makes a mean Pinot Noir, so it's no surprise Barney uses the same grape to make his slinky and fleshy Mornington ros. The fruit hails from a south facing Pinot Noir block in Merricks; handpicked, sorted and whole bunch pressed, the juice is steeped on its skins for a day before being moved into barrels for wild fermentation. A maturation of six months on lees followed the primary fermentation.
