VINTAGE 2019
Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2019 vintage was fast and furious, characterised by a very warm summer. The wines are quite fine, detailed with intricate acid structures ensuring their longevity.

Winemaking
The fruit was handpicked in February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then cold settled and wild fermented with 50% in stainless steel and 50% in old French puncheons (500L). The wine was bottled in October 2019.
Tasting note
The wine is refined and fresh, with bright fruit aromas and a lovely floral lift. Beautifully textured palate, delicious depth of fruit – with nashi pear and subtle spice. Seamless and refreshing, the wine finishes long and fine.
