A great vintage due to warm, dry and consistent conditions

Journal

Growing Season

Warm and dry weather conditions, ideal for grape maturation with a temperature range of 20-25 degrees with cooler nights. The dry weather allowed the grapes to ripen evenly reducing our need for extensive vineyard management.

Harvest

All of our grapes are handpicked over a 3 week period. Then the wines had between 14 to 16 days on skins with an average of 5% whole bunch. Most of the wines are fermented with indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
