Vintage Conditions
Consistent rains leading up to the vintage maintained vine health and fruit freshness. A warm and dry harvest period resulted in good ripening conditions. The grapes were harvested from select vineyards planted with the Kosovich clone of this variety. This clone enjoys the warm climate of the Riverina and produces fruit with abundant flavours.

Winemaking
The juice was cold settled then racked to fermentation. Fermentation took place at low temperatures to retain freshness and varietal character of the wine. A portion of the juice was fermented on French oak staves. Maturation 5% of the wine was fermented on French oak staves and following fermentation was kept on lees in this tank for an extra 2 weeks.
