Wine Making 

HARVEST DATE 19 April 2022
Harvest 2022 threw just about everything at us to challenge even the
most seasoned grower. From a cool, damp flowering period,
beautiful hot January followed by super wet February, huge disease
pressure all round, etc. Fortunately, from the beginning of March
onwards, the fine weather returned and stayed. While yields were
down on average, the fruit that was harvested was in the main very
good and we’re looking forward to some great wine

Tasting Notes 

Dark cherry and subtle spices on the nose, the palate exhibits soft tannins with juicy forest berry flavours and hints of white pepper and violets.
