In the vineyard, a combination of P58, I10V1, I10V5, Bernard 76 and Bernard 277 clones were planted to portray the site through multiple lenses. Careful canopy management allows just the right amount of sunlight into the bunch zone, as well as ensuring good airflow. Handpicked fruit is gently whole bunch pressed into a tank and settled overnight.

The juice is then transferred into French oak puncheons (a combination of new, second third and fourth use) and inoculated with a neutral yeast. Fermentation is relatively vigorous and complete within two weeks. Depending on the season, some puncheons are stirred and allowed to complete malolactic fermentation, whilst others are prevented from completing malolactic fermentation in order to retain fresh fruit aromas and flavours.

The wine is left on lees until bottling about 10 months after harvest. More detailed tasting notes for each vintage, including wine analysis, can be downloaded below.
