Colour: Ruby red. Aroma: An abundance of red fruit and cherry aromas combines well with hints of sweet oak. Taste: Generous amount of red fruit, cherries, and spice. A well-balanced wine with a juicy middle, so well-rounded tannins and a sweet fruit finish.

We had an excellent winter with the ideal conditions for the vines during their rest period. Budding started end of August with a lot of rain, which created high disease pressure. In October, we had strong winds that continued until mid-January. The wind had a positive effect on the disease pressure but had a negative effect on flowering, and in the end our yield. Harvest started 7 days earlier at the end of January due to a few heat waves in January. Weather conditions were great during harvest, and we finished early, on 13 March. Quality of the grapes looked excellent even though we are down 20% on our long-term average production. In general, I am very happy with the vintage, although I would have loved a little bit more grapes!
