Tasting Notes
The 2018 Vintage
2021 was an excellent year. There were good rains leading up to budburst and the growing season had dry spells interspersed with decent rains. Vine health was excellent with good leaf cover, and the bunches had no evidence of shrivel or disease.
The Vineyard
Fruit was sourced from both our Dowd’s Lane block which is on the west side of the ridge, and the eastern block near our Cellar Door. The soil is a deep and rocky red clay loam with excellent structure and water holding capacity. The vines are unirrigated and relatively low yielding. They are cane-pruned by hand and wrapped to a single wire trellis to encourage some bunch shading during the heat of summer.
The Winemaking
The fruit was hand-picked at varying levels of ripeness and clonal origin. The bunches were destemmed, gently crushed and fermented in small open vessels with daily hand plunging. The must was basket pressed and aged in 30% new French oak barrels for 18 months prior to bottling.
