Vintage Conditions
Drought conditions led to an earlier vintage than previous years. Dry weather and warm sunny days with low crop levels have created wines with great flavour intensity.
Winemaking
Fruit parcels suitable to make the desired style were carefully selected in the vineyard. Berries with plum and spice flavours in the vineyard were a determining factor. Warm fermentation temperatures and gentle colour tannin extraction were used to create a soft wine style. The wine was aged for 3-4 months on French and American oak.
