about the harvest: This harvest will be remembered probably as one of the earliest vintages that we have had and will have in a long time. This is also one of our better vintages because of all the intense flavours and concentration in the white wine grapes.
Yield: 7t/ha

in the cellar : The three varietals that make up the blend are each vinified separately as individual wines. Stainless steel tank fermentation and reductive wine making are followed. These three components are then blended in different ratios until we are satisfied that we have the final blend that meets The Old Man’s approval.
