Cool, wet climatic conditions created an opportunity to replenish water reserves in 2021. Although the winter rainfall started late, regular cold fronts contributed more precipitation than in the previous season. Despite sustained cool conditions, the flowering and fruit set periods were moderate and ideal. The moderate growing season resulted in lush canopies. Véraison followed the seasonal trend and was generally up to 14 days later than the previous season. Ripening was consistently about 10-14 days later than the previous year, and the ripening period was moderate with minimal precipitation during this time.

32% of the wine was matured in new 2500L Austrian foudre for 11 months, the balance was matured in older 300L French oak barrels for the same duration.
