WINEMAKING
• Harvested using a modern machine harvester in the early morning when the grapes were cool
• Pressed into stainless steel tanks for cold settling, before being gently racked and inoculated with a select yeast to naturally enhance the aromatic and flavor profiles of the wine
• Fermentation was carried out at a cool temperature lasting 21 days until cool stopped
• Left to settle on yeast lees for a short period before being racked again into stainless steel tanks for maturation, ready for bottling without the need for fining

VITICULTURE

• Near-perfect flowering conditions
• A warm January followed by a very wet, challenging February
• Rigorous canopy management and fruit thinning ensuring ripe clean fruit for harvest in April
