about the harvest: With a late start to the winter season preceding the 2019 harvest, good rainfall was very much welcomed after a three year drought. Spring was characterised by big weather fluctuations, but conditions improved with the onset of summer. Temperatures were moderate in December and January, followed by a hot February. Harvesting kicked off a little later than normal. A larger crop than 2018, with promising quality.

in the cellar : The grapes were destemmed and crushed with skin contact overnight before being pressed. The wine was then cold fermented for 14 – 16 days, using different yeast strains. It was left on its fine lees for 4 months to further enhance the flavours.
