Grapes were harvested between 23 and 25 Balling. Destemmed and then gently crushed. After a two-day cold maceration, fermentation took place in a combination of open and closed tanks for 7 days. After pressing, the wine was transferred to a combination of French oak barrels and tanks for 12 months of maturation. Fermentation in open topped tanks with punch downs.

2020 was a warm and dry season producing smaller berries with enhanced flavour concentration. Warmer day-time temperatures combined with cooler night-time temperatures resulted in perfect fruit quality with good flavour intensity and fresh acidity. This season produced a healthy and disease-free crop, resulting in wines with intense aromatics and great texture on the palate. Hand-picked grapes from vineyards aged between 19 and 21 years. All farming practices were aimed at improving soil fertility and diversity. Vineyards and winemaking are organically certified. Soils are a combination of sedimentary clay shales (Malmesbury shale) and weathered granite.
