Vintage 2019 has shaped up to be an excellent one, with below-average to average yields giving us a good cue of the quality level. The hand-picked fruit that arrived at the winery in the cool of the morning was clean, with good concentrated flavours. While January and February were both warmer than average, curiously this did not lead to the advancement of maturity of all grape varieties in our regions, even despite the early Easter date. The warm weather continued well into March, and without and rain in sight, the harvest became quite compressed. Our white varieties are showing great purity in aroma and flavour; a result of little to no vine stress through the preceding wet spring and mild early-summer period. Our red wine quality is looking to be extremely high, thanks to some 'green thinning; at veraison to ensure that the maturity of the bunches across the vines remained consistent.

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

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

Pale straw with a green hue.

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