Wine Making

Vinification: Wild ferment with minimal French oak treatment

Vintage Conditions: In 2018, good winter rainfall and a warm October led to strong canopy growth and good fruit set. A frost event in November was a little scary and reduced yields in some areas. Warm and dry January/February weather enabled the fruit to intensify in flavour whilst retaining wonderfully fresh, natural acidity.
