Vintage Summary

Central Otago experienced cool temperatures during the flowering period, resulting in variable and seemingly reduced fruit set. As the summer months began, the temperatures started to rise and a continued warm period remained throughout January and into mid February, at which a period of wet weather rolled in. These conditions remained through to the end of March and with the combination of cooler temperatures, delayed ripening and created a longer than usual harvest period. Despite this, the fruit was harvested in excellent condition and the resulting wine is showing the wonderful characters that Central Otago is known for.

Winemaking

Individual parcels of Pinot Noir were harvested and destemmed in the vineyard, before it was delivered to the winery. A warm fermentation followed with regular cap management to help extract all the colour and flavours from the skins. Each parcel was tasted daily and the wines were pressed off their skins, when the right balance of fruit and tannin had been acheived. After aging on oak, the wine was blended, stabilised and bottled.
