Other Notes
The 2022 season started with a very wet and variable spring before and during flowering, resulting in small bunches and reduced yields across most sites. However, the exceptional summer and autumn months that followed provided perfect ripening conditions that generated great concentration and striking flavours across all varieties.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked and whole bunch pressed to small and large format oak. The juice then underwent a wild yeast fermentation and natural malolactic fermentation (68%). After 10 months of oak maturation, the wine was bottled and filtered.
