• Vintage Notes

  There was much excitement in the winery when the fruit had arrived and was looking outstanding. Due to the leaner year, the fruit was showing subtle fruit and racy vibrant acidity. After a brief time on skins, the fruit was then juiced and cold settled followed by a controlled ferment filling the winery the beautiful aromatics. Once fermented, the wine was left on fine lees to create extra texture. This wine was a pleasure to make and equally enjoyable in the glass.

• Tasting Notes

  Controlled skin contact for a number of hours before being crushed and pressed. Juice fined and cold settled before fermentation. Temperature controlled ferment for 8-10 days. Ferment lees settling before filtration and bottling.
