Viticulture
2020 set a new benchmark for challenges: disease pressure, rain and cold weather during flowering and fruitset led to in bunch variability. It was the coldest year since 2005. A protracted veraison and long ripening phase kept us on the back foot — the one bonus being how clean and tasty the fruit was! COVID-19 lockdown arrived with our first day of harvest. Even with all that adversity, the
small berries were bursting with flavour and acidity.

Winemaker’s Notes
The vintage was whole bunch pressed and left on gross solids for 2 weeks prior to being racked clean. It was fermented with indigenous yeast from a vineyard starter culture, fermented to dry and
left on gross lees for 4 months
— stirred weekly. Bottled
unfined but filtered in October.
