in the vineyard : Ahead of this challenging vintage, winter brought enough cold to break dormancy although drought conditions persisted. It was the third year in a row without groundwater recharge. The cool weather continued into spring and delayed bud break, which occurred without incident. Cooler nights and days with higher than long-term rainfall kept vine development on track. October and November saw higher rainfall, but not enough to make up
the deficit while Southeaster winds during flowering had a variety of impacts. December and January were significantly warmer than 2017.

about the harvest: Harvest also began five days later and was defined by small berries, low yields and big concentration. Despite the rollercoaster ride, harvest’s near-perfect timing produced great, elegant wines with full ripeness.

in the cellar : The wine was blended and bottled, and underwent a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This was followed by bottle maturation of approximately
18 months. Only then was it disgorged, corked and labelled.
