Producer’s notes
A winter with enough rain led to a normal flowering, and spring and summer were cool and breezy, without the peaks of heat usual in July and August. The harvest began at the end of August and was spread over a longer period because of the cooler season. The wine was fermented in stainless steel with about two weeks on the skins.
