Winter rainfall was plentiful, ensuring optimal soil moisture profiles leading into spring.Conditions during spring and summer were significantly cooler than average with no summer heatwaves recorded only one day over 35C. These mild temperatures coupled with cool nights allowed for an extended slow ripening period leading into harvest. The extra hang-time allowed for terrific varietal flavour and aroma development, with the retention of natural acidity. The fruit was handpicked before being gently destemmed retaining whole berries. A small proportion was “bled off” for production of our rose’ to increase the skin to juice ration and therefore concentration. The fruit was fermented at cool temperatures in open top fermenters and pressed to a combination of new and seasoned French oak puncheons for 18 months. The wine is neither fined nor filtered.
