The fruit was harvested during the cool of the night before being
gently pressed to cold settle. The pressings were fermented in small
format old barrels, with the free run undergoing the majority of
fermentation in stainless steel before partial transfer to barrel to add
spice and texture. The wine as then matured on lees prior to filtration
and bottling.
VINTAGE
The 2020 growing season was characterised by dry and warm
weather; although the summer had minimal rain and some of the
mildest conditions seen in the past 20 years, the region enjoyed
steady fruit development and low disease pressure across the board.
Whilst some strong winds during flowering reduced crop levels, our
2020 wines have distinctive varietal flavours with bright, spicy reds
and clean, aromatic whites.
