SEASON

2021 Vintage Report 'The Pyrenees reiterated Victoria’s idyllic theme of timely rainfall, good yields, long ripening and protracted picking, producing whites of great natural acidity and reds of impressive concentration.' Halliday Wine Companion

WINEMAKING

The fruit was harvested in early April and was destemmed and vinified in open fermenters with hand plunging. Separated in three batches, each was macerated on skins for 20 days, 2 months, and 3 months respectively to build texture and tannin before pressing off for the final blend.The wine was then racked to barrel for a further 12 months maturation in predominantly seasoned French oak puncheons.
