Wine Making
Vinification: Harvested utilising a destemmer in the cool of the morning, processed quickly to minimise skin contact. Tank ferment stopped at 3g/l residual sugar to provide depth to the palate.
Vintage Conditions: Good winter rains set a positive start to the growing season with ample soil moisture and no frost events. The cooler conditions delayed vine growth and flowering was later than average. Unfortunately fruit set was influenced by the cooler season and some varieties yielded below average. The cool & mild conditions continued throughout and subsequently delayed harvest giving the fruit ample time to develop delicate flavours.
Vine Clone: CW 44
Harvest Date: March 29, 2023
