The build up to harvest was uncharacteristic to previous vintages, anticipating a warm dry winter that would stimulate early growth in the vineyards. However shortly after the fruit set, we experienced cool nights with sporadic rainfall that resulted in a slower ripening period and a later harvest.

WINE RECORD
The Riesling is made in a natural and minimalistic style. The grapes were left on the skins for a period of 7 days before pressing, followed by a wild and spontaneous fermentation. The wine underwent cold fermentation, followed by 5 months maturation in neutral 500L French oak barrels, then left on the lees in tank for 7 months before blending and bottling.
