Viticulture

A wet winter resulted in a reduction of the crop by 35%. A cooler than usual ripening period & no rain during spring and summer meant there the ripening was long and fine. Picking the fruit at optimum ripeness was a breeze. This was the latest harvest on record beginning 4 weeks later than normal.

Vinification

A large percentage of juice was handled oxidatively. This develops a richer and riper stone fruit spectrum in the resultant wine. Fermentation on oak allows for quicker and greater integration between the fruit and oak for a harmonious balance. Some parcels go through malolactic fermentation, further softening the acid profile. The wines are left on light primary and secondary lees to add creaminess and weight.

Maturation

The wines are left on light primary and secondary lees to add creaminess and weight.
