Hyperfocus and daily vineyard assessment was required to ensure that the optimal picking decision wasn’t missed. In 2020 2 days made a significant difference in fruit quality and ripeness. Due to the low yields the fruit ripened quickly, and we harvested on the 28th February which is 2-3 weeks earlier than usual.
The fruit was fermented in stainless steel for 9 days with twice daily pump overs. Cautious consideration and focus was given to managing the extract and resultant tannin pick up in ferment. Matured in American oak for 26 months in 40% new oak and the balance in seasoned oak.
