Severe weather fluctuations during bud break and flowering, followed by cool windy conditions contributed to less and uneven bunches and smaller berries. White wines have shown good acidity and balanced flavour profiles.

The wine was then left in the barrel for two months, stirred and transferred to tank where it remained on primary lees six months for further maturation.

The grapes were whole bunch pressed and placed in stainless steel tanks to initiate the fermentation process until 50 percent complete. The juice was then moved to 3rd and 4th fill French oak barrels where fermentation was completed.
