The fruit for this wine was hand-picked from our estate plantings. After fermentation by indigenous yeasts, the wine was matured in new and one year old French oak hogsheads. The excellent 2021 season produced slowly ripened fruit with vibrant colours and heightened varietal flavours, accompanied by excellent natural acidity. This wine will develop in the bottle over a further seven years or more.
