SPECIAL NOTES 

The 2021 season was hot and shorter than expected.  Fruit came in early.  Started receiving fruit mid-September.  Dry conditions at harvest.  Fruit came in clean, with no botrytis. Very mature with small amounts of berry shrivel.

A large amount of the fruit used for this wine came from two blocks that we had trellised as archcanes.  These are also younger vines from block 12/14. The goal here was to push the vines to work harder and increase yields.  The impact on the profile of the wine has shown higher fruit esters.
