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

Fruit is harvested at night, pressed and left to settle, roughly racked the next day to barrel & tank. Warm fermentation & extended lees contact help give a wine full of flavour and texture. 58% of the blend is fermented in old French oak barriques & Hogsheads. Wine is then left in barrel to mature on yeast lees for 12 months with minimal stirring. 100% of the wine going through malolactic fermentation.
