Description: The season leading up to the 2023 vintage was, in many ways very similar to the two which preceded it. The winter of 2022 was typified by wet conditions, which didn’t allow many frosts to occur which normally breaks the weather into fine sunny days with cold nights. Early spring was extremely wet, with budburst occurring as late as yet recorded. The 2023 wines are all excellent in quality. High natural acidities and high colour in reds. The cool summer conditions were optimum for flavour and colour development.
This wine was made from two clones (114 and MV6) and comprises a whole bunch component, which was fermented separately using maceration carbonique.
Each component was matured separately in new (40%) and seasoned Italian coopered French oak 500 litre puncheons prior to blending and bottling in early February 2023.
