Fermentation initiated in stainless tanks with a 30% whole bunch component.

The grapes were sourced from a south-west facing bush vine vineyard grown in decomposed granite and Table Mountain sandstone. The growing season was characterised by an earlier, harvest period although we had our first decent winter rains the vineyards still felt the effect of the previous years of drought. Harvest commenced on 28 February 2020. Grapes were harvested at 25°B with a total acid of 7.1 g/ ℓ and a pH of 3.5.

This wine spent 14 months in 500 ℓ French oak barrels; 10% new, 20% 2nd fill and 70% older.
