The fruit was harvested in the cool of the night to preserve
freshness and quality. Following gentle pressing, minimal fining
agents were used to preserve the natural vibrancy and structure of
the variety. Layering was created through the inclusion of old
barrel fermentation with natural yeast strains, along with further
maturation on yeast lees to generate subtle creaminess and
balance the great natural acidity from this vintage. Before boling,
the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered, with the final result
being a great food pairing wine with good length.
VINTAGE
Vintage 2021 was preceded by a relatively wet spring, seing the
framework for good vine canopy development and yields
following the dry conditions of 2019 and 2020. The expected
rainfall of early 2021 held off during the harvest period, with mild
conditions leading to excellent varietal expression in white
varieties and more refined reds.
