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 :

Picked at optimum ripeness, grapes underwent natural fermentation in large French oak fermenters. Following malolactic fermentation, individual vineyards were kept separate for eight months. Using only the free-running juice of the individual vineyards, this blend was carefully created and matured for a further 12 months in French oak barriques.
