SEASON:
2021 was a terrific vintage for both vineyard quality and quantity.
We had a wet spring followed by a healthy amount of sunshine and some well-timed rain in January, leading to large green healthy canopies.
The overall temperature during the growing season was lower than average which led to a long slow ripening period and great concentration of flavours and natural tannin structure.
VINIFICATION:
Hand-picked, all fruit is chilled overnight to 12 degrees Celsius..
The MV6 was fermented as 100% whole bunches, while the G clone was destemmed, soaked cold for five days, then allowed to warm gently into a wild ferment.
All parcels were matured in French oak – 25% new, 75% older –for 10 months in 225L barriques, Taranasaud, Vicard and D&J.
Racked to blend, no fining, no filtration.
Bottled by gravity.
