Viticulture

Good rains during winter and early spring allowed for good fruitfulness and healthy vines at the beginning of the growing season. A cooler than usual ripening period enabled good varietal flavours. Rain during late spring and summer increased the disease pressure but with good viticultural practices and selective harvesting we were able to begin vintage albeit about 2 weeks later than what has become the norm in recent times.

Vinification

This wine was fermented cool over a two week period. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of our house select fine French oak. These Once fermentation was complete the wines were matured on fine yeast lees over 7 months to build palate weight.
