Description
VINTAGE SUMMARY The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we were pleased with the fruit ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity. WINEMAKING Hand-picked on the 27th of March from Block 6 (1.0 Ha), our oldest Roussanne planting. A small parcel of Roussanne was included in the blend that was picked earlier on the 21st of March. A portion is destemmed, crushed, and filled to 675L ceramic eggs. 52% of the final blend was fermented on skins and remained on skins for 120 days before pressing. Only the free draining fraction retained. The other portion is whole bunch basket pressed into ceramic eggs and fermented without skins. The blend is exclusively matured in ceramic eggs for a further 4 months. Bottled November 2022.
