VITICULTRE

Climate: The 2023 growing season started with soil moisture at capacity, following a wet winter. Uneven flowering conditions during November and December meant some sub regions achieved better fruit set than others. Vigilance around disease pressure was paramount due to regular rain events and humidity. March saw sunny days and cool nights, and a delayed harvest resulted in fruit that reached good sugar levels with attractive flavours.

WINEMAKING

Harvest Dates: 14th March – 1st April 2023

Winemaking: Fruit was machine-harvested, destemmed, and pressed at the winery to ensure the desired level of colour and flavour extraction. Fermentation was at cool temperatures with selected yeast to create a wine with pure fruit flavours and freshness.
