The 2023 vintage benefited from mild weather from January to April, ensuring even ripening and a balance of natural acidity and flavour. The grapes were given minimal skin contact before being drained off and transferred to a static fermenter for cold settling. After fermentation, the wine was racked off gross lees, cold-stabilised, filtered, and bottled in mid-May to preserve its freshness and vibrancy.
