Wine Making
Vinification: Fermented in tank on lees, batonage applied
Vintage Conditions: Bud-burst date was on par with average after wet July & August. Spring was cool & damp which resulted in slow shoot growth. Fruit set was variable due to cool conditions but the weather stabilised in November, with excellent growing conditions through to February. A lack of any weather extremes, either heat or cool spells lead to favourable ripening conditions and excellent flavour development.
Vine Clone: Bernard 76
