Description
The 2018/2019 growing season wrapped up with exceptionally clean fruit and low yields that developed excellent concentration and # avour. January through March was hot and dry with little rainfall and combined with the low yields meant harvest started earlier than usual. It also allowed picking decisions to be made in the vineyard on flavour and reaching optimum ripeness. Fermented in 500 L puncheons, 15% were new and solely indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
