Harvest

An unusually cool, late season with below average January temperatures contributing to a somewhat delayed start to harvest.
Classic autumnal weather was perfect for ripening the reds.
Yields were low, a benefit in a cooler, later season, and reds
were picked in outstanding condition with developed flavour,
good density and fine, ripe tannins.

Winemaking

Fruit parcels were hand harvested and fermented separately in a
combination of open, static and concrete fermenters to aid in the
structural extraction of tannins by varying cap management.
Following 16 days fermentation, wines were pressed and matured
in French oak for 14 months then blended and filtered before
bottling in September 2020.
