A graceful lead into the 2023 vintage had us pretty excited about what was to come. In the end it was a game of patience to ensure we had enough flavour to balance with the acid. We picked from two blocks - one with a little more canopy showing purity with some vibrant acidity, the other more exposed block giving some generosity to the palate. Picked early in the morning, the grapes had a little skin contact before pressing on arrival at the winery. We took clear juice for fermentation allowing the fruit to shine through, with a short stint on lees in stainless to enhance mouthfeel before transition to bottle.
