Vintage 2019 has shaped up to be a challenging one, with below-average yields but good quality level. The hand picked fruit that arrived at the winery in the cool of the morning was clean, with good concentrated flavours. A dry winter, spring and summer with warmer than average temperatures in January and February lead to the advancement of the maturity of all grape varieties in our regions and an early onset of vintage.

Spicy aromas with fragrant grape blossom, citrus rind and stone fruit.

The palate is fresh and juicy with spicy grape flavours, tangy apple and stone fruit, crisp acidity and a zesty finish.

With a pale-green hue.

The grapes are handpicked at verasion (onset of colouring in grapes) when they are starting to develop flavour but still have high acidity and sugars are only around 10% sugar. After whole-bunch pressing the juice is cold settles and sterile filtered into the bottle.
