Tasting Notes
Aroma
Fruity aromas of sweet pear, sweet texture balanced with a fresh acidity.
Vinification
Winemaking: De-stemmed and crushed into press.
De-juiced with only slight pressure prior to cold-settling overnight. Racked into
a stainless steel tank for inoculated ferment, controlled
at 18-20˚Cc Kept on ferment lees for eight weeks to fill palate structure, then
cold stabilised before filtration.
Cellaring Potential
Cellar for up to 15 years (from Jan 2023).
Vintage Notes
Winter 2021 was cool and wet followed by temperatures around 15 to 20
degrees Celsius from Spring up until Christmas. January was slightly warmer
(an average daily top of 20-25 degrees Celsius), with only three days above 30
degrees Celsius during summer.
Vintage started by Mid March and grape ripening was slow. A couple of good
weeks of warm temperature before Easter finalised the maturity. We picked the
reds up until end of April. Overall, the quality is quite good. The whites are a bit
crisper in acid while the reds are very ripe and generous.
