VINTAGE A near perfect growing season, producing moderate yields. Spring was warm & dry providing excellent flowering. A hot December sped the fruit development along, resulting in an early start to harvest. Milder January conditions were perfect for steady ripening and the whites were all harvested in sensational condition with fruit purity, freshness and bright varietal expression. |
METHOD Fruit was harvested during the cool night conditions, delivered to the winery for immediate pressing to ensure aromatics were preserved. Juice was then settled, racked and inocluated for a cool fermentation. Once completed, the wine was left on yeast lees for six weeks with regular stirring to enhance texture prior to filtration and bottling in August 2020
Please note some wines orders may take 2-5 days to prepare for shipment. |
