The 2019/20 growing season had cooler, windy conditions, resulting in smaller bunches and berries but intense fruit. The wine has a bright garnet centre with a clear red edge. Varieties were sorted, crushed, and destemmed before an 8-day cold soak and fermentation. Minimal additions preserved the grape's true characteristics. After blending trials and test tastings, the final blend matured for 18 months in 3rd fill French oak barrels. Harvested from 19 to 26 March 2020.
