Harvest
A tricky season commencing with good early season growth.
A cool and wet November impacted fruit set and resulted in
reduced yields. Early summer was hot and dry, then February
brought more cool and wet conditions. Our organic farming,
however, had the vineyard in terrific shape to deal with the challenges and fruit for our Rose was harvested in great condition.
Winemaking
Produced primarily from a combination of Tempranillo for
raspberry and spice notes, Merlot for strawberry freshness and
Shiraz for floral aromatics and summer berries. Fruit was gently
pressed to extract a free run component with minimal colour
then fermented cool to help maintain aromatics. Some Viognier
was co-fermented for textural complexity and lifted aromatics.
