The 2019 growing season experienced a lower-than-average rainfall. With the dry conditions, lack of summer rain, the vineyards relied on supplementary irrigation to get them through to harvest. Combined with some extreme high temperature days, both in late January and February, it was a challenge to keep the fruit in top condition. The result was vineyards with medium canopy`s carrying open bunches of fruit with less weight. The lower yields have resulted in wines with good intense flavour with fine tannins.

“Deep, youthful violet. Expansive, spice accented black and blue fruit and floral scents, along with hints of vanilla and cola. In a plush, forward style, offering appealingly jammy cherry and boysenberry flavors that show good depth as well as energy. Smooth, slowly building tannins add shape to the long supple finish, which strongly echoes the blue fruit note.”
