The latter half of the season was ideal for fruit development with some of the best conditions seen in the last 10 years.

The wines were typical of this cool climate region with excellent flavour development.
Oak Maturation	All of the free-run juice was fermented in quality French oak barrels (60% new and the remainder in a combination of 2 and 3 year old). After fermentation the wine was matured for a further 8 months in French oak before both regional parcels were blended and prepared for bottling.
Cellaring Notes	Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions.
