VINTAGE NOTES

A mild 2020 spring with reasonable rainfall provided excellent growing conditions. A wet November followed by a warm and dry December and January set the vines for up for a regular season. However wet and humid conditions in February created an unusual vintage with extreme weather conditions. As a result, the 2021 vintage required extra work and attention to detail in the vineyard. The final wines show incredible flavour at lower baumes with bright natural acidity. Great fruit purity and varietal expression.
