Winemaking
2011 had a cool ripening season, with harvest of this late ripening variety occurring in early April. Although the grapes took their time achieving flavour ripeness, the moderate temperatures allowed the development of the fresh delicate flavours and the variety naturally retains crisp acidity. The wine was blended to express its finesse and texture, combined with the lower alcohol and lighter style, allows the wine to match beautifully with food.
Technical analysis
- Alcohol 11.9%
Ageing potential
This wine is suited for early drinking and will retain fresh fruit characters for the next year. This wine is made to be enjoyed whilst it is young.
