Wine Analysis: Alc/Vol 14.2%, Acidity 5.9 g/L, pH 3.66, RS <0.3 g/150ml glass
Serving Temperature: 16-18 °C
Vinification: Combination of seasoned American & Hungarian oak for 24 months
Vintage Conditions: Good winter rainfall meant near full soil moisture profiles at budburst. Moderate rain during early spring encouraged good shoot growth, with a quick and even flowering resulting in excellent fruit set. Mild & dry conditions, without any significant extremes continued throughout the growing season. Production levels were excellent, above long term averages and the mild & slow ripening conditions enabled strong varietal character to develop. Vintage was dry and the weather stable so fruit was harvested, at optimal flavour development and high natural acidity. A “goldilocks” vintage.
