It was, however, quite cool coming into the harvest period. We adapted the vintage by making two separate batches of wine, the first from early picked fruit, and the second a riper portion fermented with French oak staves. We opted for simple cold fermentation with a few months of lees contact. The wine is made up from a number of different vineyards harvested from a range of sites and soil types.  The oak component wakes up around 50% of the total blend. The two components had different flavours and textures from which we have endeavoured to produce a well- balanced, interesting wine which is a joy to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sh-heading sh- fadeIn animated\" id=\"heading-3df3515f0602e267cfbaf65373063ef8\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sh-heading-content size-default text-center\"\u003eAgeing potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"text-block-7c7ab7989a999c94aeb618e511a8802a\" class=\"sh-text-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"text-block-7c7ab7989a999c94aeb618e511a8802a\" class=\"sh-text-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine should be drunk within two to three years of vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sh-heading sh- fadeIn animated\" id=\"heading-116461667b8f002cfa60aa52487d0e0d\" data-wow-duration=\"2s\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sh-heading-content size-default text-center\"\u003eW.O.
