in the vineyard : The 2011 growing season will be remembered for its erratic weather changes, which posed several challenges to winemakers and viticulturist alike. A cold, but late 2010 winter preceded the growing season, providing much-needed rest to the vineyards. The harvest was characterised by a warm summer and, along with the lower than average rainfall, resulted in lower yield, smaller bunches and consequently riper flavours. Grape quality in general was superb, with the season delivering optimally ripe, healthy grapes with great concentration.

in the cellar : Maturation
2 - 4 months maturation.
