More Information

In the cellar

Grapes were harvested by hand and berry sorted into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation commenced spontaneously and was finished with a pure strain. Extraction was done with a combination of punch-down, rack-and-return and pump-over methods. Batches were gently pressed and immediately racked to small French oak barrels where they completed malolactic fermentation. The components were racked three times to enhance clarification and development. Blending took place after 14 months aging, after which the composed blend was aged in barrel for another 4 months. The wine was bottled after a total of 22 months.

In the vineyard

Dry conditions lead to small berries and small bunches. We also experienced low disease pressure. Late bud break and flowering. Some cultivars were more uneven due to rain during flowering, but most blocks were even. We started picking early due to nervousness about water supply, but as the vintage progressed, cool weather gave us confidence to let some blocks ripen longer. Cool nights and warmer days attributed to good colour and flavour accumulation in grapes. No usual February heat waves occurred, and grapes retained good natural acidity and ripened at lower sugar levels.

Ageing

This wine can be enjoyed now, however, it can be aged for a further 8 -10 years from date of vintage if stored in the correct conditions.
