Description
Viticulture
2009 was a good growing season which allowed the grapes to ripen early. The vines had minimal irrigation and the crop levels were low to ensure the vines produced a balanced crop of grapes.
Winemaking
This wine was made as a small batch (10 tonne) with a warm ferment over 7 days, before being pressed off skins into a combination of 100% French Oak. Remaining in oak for 15 months maturation, gaining the layered complexity now evident in the finished wine.
