Fermentation took place over 10 - 12 days in a combination of open and static fermenters. The temperature was closely monitored to ensure the wine retains its natural fruit expression. New and older French and American oak was used for the maturation of selected wine parcels over a period of 13 months. These parcels were put together from our family estate to best demonstrate the depth and character of our fruit, balanced by integrated oak.
2019 was a very good season with predominantly mild, dry days.
Yields were generally low and this did result in some excellent
parcels of fruit being harvested. Vine-balance was carefully
monitored, resulting in fruit that demonstrates the vibrancy and
fruit derived characters that we strive for in our wines.
