WINEMAKING
• grapes were gently hand-harvested, days apart to ensure maximum ripeness and quality
• lightly crushed and destemmed fruit was held in open top vessels for around six days
• the must was slowly warmed and inoculated with specifically selected yeasts, with some left to ferment with ‘wild’ yeast naturally found on the
grapes.
• warm temperatures fermentation of up to 35C° and an extended maturation period on skins allowed for a gentle extraction of colour and
tannin
• the wine was developed in French oak barriques before secondary malolactic fermentation
• Bottled early March 2020 without fining 4456 bottles produced
VITICULTURE
• unsettled weather over flowering resulting innlower yields overall
• later on the very warm and dry summer months provided ideal growing conditions
• a successful harvest period with grapes picked at optimal ripeness and outstanding flavour profile
TASTING NOTE
• A vibrant ruby red hue in the glass
• dark fruits , integrated French oak, bright floral notes on the nose
