Wine Makers Notes
| The Vintage | Harvested between 4th – 12th March 2009. |
|---|---|
| The Vineyard | The grapes were harvested from 22 - 27 year old, cool south- and east-facing vineyards, situated on decomposed granite and loamy soils, 220m above sea level. |
| The Winemaking | After gentle pressing followed by cold-settling for 2 days, the juice was barrel- fermented in 228l second-fill Burgundy-shaped barrels, and matured “sur-lie” in the barrel for 8 months with occasional “batonage” to add richness to the palate. To accentuate the fresh citrus flavour, 62 % tank-fermented Chenin Blanc was blended with the barrel portion. The wine was bottled on 10th December 2009. |
