Harvest 2016
2016 vintage was marked by atypical weather. A warm and dry winter preceded a cold, wet spring. Summer was hot and dry, allowing for undisturbed ripening.
Vinification
The grapes are fermented without stems and with temperature control, with frequent delestage (rack and return) and short maceration to enhance fruitiness and a soft tannin structure. No barrel ageing.
Our Winemaker's comments
With intense ruby colours and attractive ripe berry character. A fresh and young wine that is ready for immediate drinking.
