Tasting Notes
Vinification
3 days of prefermentative maceration at low
temperature, with daily remontages and delestages
during its temperature controlled fermentation.
Followed by fermentation in cone shaped temperature
controlled stainless steel vats. 12 months in French
and American oak barriques.
Vintage Notes
The year began with the Filomena storm providing
hydration to the vineyards followed by occasional"
frosts in April and storms in June. During summer, there
was an almost total lack of precipitation during July
and August, which is atypical, and maturation was
accompanied by some water stress in warmer areas,
but in good conditions in cooler regions. At the end of
September in the warm areas, heavy rains made the
harvest difficult in these early ripening areas, but
greatly favoured the final maturation in higher areas. In
sum, an excellent year for vineyards that were
harvested at the normal time.
