about the harvest: The 2016 harvest was significantly smaller than the past three years, which were characterised by record harvests. Most warmer regions also saw a later than usual finish to the harvesting period. The smaller crop sizes ensured greater concentration of fruit present in the berries which resulted in more flavourful wines.

in the cellar : Cold skin maceration was carried out for twelve hours, juice then fermented in stainless steel tanks for three weeks at 12˚C. Batonage was applied to the wine for a week before it was racked. The wine remained on the fine less till just prior to bottling.
