Notes
After a beautifully warm but excessively dry summer, harvest began three weeks early. It was a stunning vintage with pristine fruit, small berries, and great concentration. Hand harvested from our single cane, high density planted vines, in a hot pocket site grown at the top of our Brookby Hill Vineyard. The fruit was fermented in an open top tank and a clay amphora with 30% whole bunch clusters. The wine was then lightly pressed into 25% new and seasoned French oak barrels and aged for 11 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
