Wine Summary Image

Wine Making

Outstanding fruit quality dictated the style of wine that was to be made. Fermentation was conducted in temperaturecontrolled vessels using selected yeast strains to highlight the varietal character of the Merlot grapes. Upon completion of fermentation, separate parcels of wine were run off to oak for maturation. Keeping the oak characters well in the background, with the vinous flavours being dominant was the main challenge. Small batches of wine underwent micro-oxidation to further stabilise colour and improve the suppleness of the tannins.

Vintage Conditions

Overall, the vintage was a dry season across the majority of regions we took fruit from. These dry conditions, coupled with warm weather and variable yield levels forced the growers to manage their blocks carefully, especially with regards to soil moisture and irrigation. Throughout the growing season, we saw a lot of movement in regards to ripening patterns and varying maturity levels across all varieties, with many of the red varieties all coming together at once, and almost everything on average ripening about 2 weeks earlier than in the previous season.
