Growing conditions
Warm temperatures and late winter rains woke the vines sooner than expected. Pre-pruning and a cooler August helped stall budburst until early September. Conditions remained warmer and drier than average, triggering fruit set and helping ripen fruit beautifully into the new year. Shoot thinning ensured only pristine bunches were harvested. Our Chenin Blanc was picked with fruit purity and excellent natural acidity.
Winemaker notes
Hand-harvested fruit was whole-bunch pressed to avoid skin phenolics, settled for 48 hours and then racked to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The cool tank fermentation helped preserve
the fruit aromas and vitality. A small parcel of juice was fermented in a new oak puncheon. The wine was then fined, filtered and tirage bottled in early September for secondary fermentation,
and remained on lees until January 2026 to gain additional complexity and a fine bead.
