VINTAGE A close-to-perfect growing season. Apart from a small storm in late October, spring was warm and dry, providing excellent conditions for flowering. One of the hottest Decembers on record sped fruit development along but was followed by a slightly milder January, perfect for ripening. No bird pressure made for a straight forward harvest with fruit in pristine condition.

METHOD Fruit was destemmed and pressed to tank immediately upon arrival to the winery then settled to clarify the juice. Batches were racked then inoculated for alcoholic fermentation which lasted 12-17 days. A portion of Semillon was fermented, matured and lees stirred for two months with new French oak, after which time parcels were blended, stabilised, filtered then bottled.

 

Please note some wines orders may take 2-5 days to prepare for shipment.
