Winemaking and Maturation

Grapes are hand-picked and cooled overnight. The following morning they are put into the press and pressed as whole bunches. No sulphur, yeast, acid, enzymes or water were added. Very cloudy juice was transferred to neutral oak barrels, with only the heaviest of solids left behind.

Fermentation took place over 4 weeks, after which about half of the barrels completed malolactic fermentation. In Autumn wines were sulphured for the first time. The wines were bottled in December after spending 11 months in barrel with no racking or fining.

Tasting Notes

This vintage is open in body and tight in texture: kelp, citrus creams, and apples jump forth. The palate is equally tight, but rounder than previous vintages. The acidity is ripe and rushes across the palate with waves of white stone fruit and delicious golden apples.
