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, wet conditions. Our organic farming, however, had the vineyard in terrific shape to deal with the challenges and fruit was harvested with fruit purity and bright acidity.

Winemaking

Fruit was destemmed and pressed to tank immediately upon arrival to the winery, then settled to clarify the juice. Batches were racked then inoculated for alcoholic fermentation, which lasted 10-14 days. A portion of Semillon was fermented with new French oak to add a structural element to the palate. Parcels were then blended and bottled in July 2021.
