Quand boire : 2022 to 2048
Jeremy Oliver 95/100
The vintage: The region experienced moderate to below-average rainfall, with good falls in October/November to top up the soil moisture, with warm drier conditions through March followed by light rains. The conditions in February allowed for optimal times to pick the fruit.
The winemaking: The fruit was hand harvested and transported to the winery where it was cooled overnight and hand sorted. Maceration lasted for 6 weeks with minimal pump overs and temperatures ranging from 12°-27°C. The wine was pressed to tank and allowed to settle for 7 days prior to oak maturation. A range of coopers were used in the wine’s development.

Drink with: Slow braised lamb ribs
