about the harvest: Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness. We started harvesting the first week of February and ended the last week of March 2021. This harvest had some challenges with covid-19 sale restrictions, lockdown and some rain that made planning difficult. Overall the quality of the wines shows lots of promise.

in the cellar : Made in open fermenters, on the skins for 5-8 days at an average temp. of 25°C. Punching of the cap was done every 2 hours to extract good colour and flavours from the grapes. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks the wine aged in French oak for 12 months.
