Harvest
A cool start delayed flowering and slowed early vine growth, but by late December our organic farming practices had the vineyard well placed for another stellar vintage. Healthy canopies kept the grapes cool through summer and preserved the freshness beautifully. Harvest finished up in early April, with the whites showing
purity of fruit and incredible vitality.
Winemaking
Pressed to tank on arrival into the winery to ensure aromatics were preserved. Juice was then settled to aid clarification, inoculated and fermented in a combination of stainless steel, to retain the fresh fruit profile, and also older French oak puncheons, to give texture to the palate. Following a short maturation period, parcels were blended prior to bottling in June 2022.
