WINEMAKER’S NOTES
2021 VINTAGE REPORT
The outstanding 2021 vintage is up there as one of my
favourites. Sufficient winter rains resuscitated the vines
after two consecutive dry, frost-affected and low-yielding
years. Spring was near perfect for budburst, flowering and
fruit set, enabling vines to flourish and reach their full
potential. Summer was gorgeous and mild with even, slow
ripening, fantastic colour and flavour development, and
acid retention. Finally, an unhurried harvest reduced
pressure on fermenter space, cellar hands, and my sanity! As
a result, we have captured the personality and quality from
every vineyard.
Colour: Pale straw with green hues.
Aroma: A delicate, bouquet of lime and tropical fruits, with
hints of green apple, citrus blossom and talc.
Palate: Fresh and lively, lime and Granny Smith apples
tantalise the taste buds, with a zingy, zesty mouth feel and
great balance.
Food match: Smoked trout with lemon, freshly shucked
oysters, spicy Asian foods, seafood chowder.
