The HarvestThe 2017 harvest had cooler conditions than 2016, contributing to longer ripening and fruit development. The picking of the different varietals was also much more spread out, allowing us to focus on quality and optimum ripeness.Yield: 7t/ha
In The CellarThe three varietals that make up the blend are each vinified separately as individual wines. Stainless steel tank fermentation and reductive wine making are followed. These three components are then blended in different ratios until we are satisfied that we have the final blend that meets The Old Man’s approval.
