SEASON

A warm and very dry season in which fruit achieved great intensity and complexity of flavour. Harvest was on the early side and yields were slightly lower than average, owing to the dry season. Our vineyards received welcome rain in February – late enough to replenish tired and thirsty vines for the run home, but not so late as to spoil fruit health or timing of harvest

WINEMAKING

This wine is from two premium vineyards in Hilltops region. The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness in early March. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tank and matured with French oak staves
