REGION NOTES
Predominantly from our Lenswood Vineyard, at 455?00 metres elevation. Undulating with east and west facing aspects, the soils are brown loams over clay with broken shale on the ridges. The vineyard was planted in 1999.
VINIFICATION
Hand picked and sorted. Combination of whole berry and whole bunch (30%) fermentation. Fifteen days on skins. Matured in French oak, majority puncheons.
VINTAGE NOTES
The growing season for the 2021 vintage was terrific, a joy after the traumas of 2020. Soaking winter rains gave us plenty of moisture in the soil, and that flowed into healthy crops. The summer was mild, with slow ripening giving the grapes lots of flavour and intensity.
