HARVEST
2018/19 was a true winemaker’s vintage. A relatively cold and wet winter gave way to late and disorganized flowering. Our vineyard team had to apply plenty of anticipation and thought to deal with the changing and unusual weather which disrupted the regular pattern of activities. A generally cooler vintage has produced wines with exceptional elegance!
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
These grapes were picked on 26th March and 5th and 9th April 2019 from specific parcels with varying soil types. This complexity in growing has resulted in a wonderful intricacy in the wine. Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness to enable the correct balance between sugar and phenolic components. Individual batches were bunch and berry sorted, crushed and destalked to tank. Natural fermentation started after 10 days cold soaking.
The wine was matured in first and second fill 225 litre French oak barrels for 22 months. Bottled 12 April 2021.
