2020 Vintage
Winemaking Notes
Harvested on September 11 th, 24th and October 6 th from 3 different vineyards. The majority of this wine was fermented in concrete tanks, with the remainder fermented in 228L Barriques and a 500L Puncheon and stainless steel. Once fermentation was complete, all the wine was aged on full lees in concrete and stainless steel for 9 months. After lees-aging, it was racked, lightly filtered and bottled on August 15, 2021.
Tasting Notes
2020 was a beautiful, warm vintage that cooled perfectly at harvest, creating wines that are both full-flavoured and balanced by fresh acidity. A nose of peach, pear and honeydew is immediately subsumed by lemon meringue, crème fraiche and graham cracker. The palate drives forward lemon curd, honeysuckle and hazelnut with a slight flinty, wet stone background that leads to an unusually rich and weighty mid-palate. There is a lovely sweep of acidity that brings the wine around to an incredibly long, complex finish. This wine will age well for the next 5-8 years. Enjoy with brie, sole meuniere, and lemon-roasted chicken.
