Description
The drought conditions of the past years have continued, along the West Coast (Darling). This dry, warm weather resulted in healthy grapes and small berries with good intensity.
Picked in the early morning at 21,7 balling, the grapes were whole bunch pressed, after which the juice was allowed to settle for 48 hours before being racked off into stainless steel tanks and cold fermented. The fermentation was stopped early, giving the wine a natural sweetness.
