A classic growing season with excellent budburst leading to beautifully warm weather through flowering and fruit set. A mild summer with just a few hot December days and a cool, overcast February, enabled fruit to ripen slowly, accumulating intense varietal flavours whilst retaining fresh natural acidity. All whites were harvested in excellent condition.
One of the coolest and latest seasons we've seen in the region with harvest delayed some three weeks. The milder ripening weather allowed for the slow accumulation of intense varietal character - citrus, white peach, floral, hazelnut and the wine retained a vibrant citrus line, savoury layers of complexity and a fresh, saline minerality.
