The winter prior to 2021 allowed good growth in the vineyards as the water table was reasonably filled. It gave the vineyards a chance to produce a nice canopy leading to phenolic ripe grapes. The 2021 vintage also offered us optimal sugars at the correct times. The vintage offered us an above average harvest allowing us to produce a higher yield per hectare. The grapes were picked early morning and put into the cooler for 5 hours.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked early and left in the cooler for 7 hours. The grapes were then processed and left in the tank to cold soak for 3 days. This process helps develop the fresh fruit aromatics and to gain a more stable colour.

in the cellar : After the fermentation and extractions, the wine was left on the skins for an extra day and a half. Wine was then moved to barrels to mature for 24 months.
