VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Warmer periods during the latter part of the winter resulted in some un-even budding,
flowering and fruit set. The moisture levels in the soils were satisfactory throughout
the growing and ripening phase, and very little moisture stress was noticeable on the
vines. The late start to the 2021 harvest was one of the distinguishing hallmarks of this
vintage. The cooler growing conditions of the 2021 vintage produced elegant wines
with softer tannin structures that will make them accessible and drinkable from an
earlier age.
WINEMAKING / MATURATION
Fermentation took place in open top concrete fermenters at 280C. The floating skins
were punched down mechanically, every 2 hours during fermentation. The juice was
drawn off the skins after 3 – 5 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was
matured for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels.
