2021 Preamble No.2 £240.00
Despite some cold spring nights, we started a late season with all the buds intact and warm weather quickly allowed the vines to catch up. Then a cool summer turned into a warm autumn and small, intense grapes ripened beautifully across all our ten parcels of chardonnay and pinot noir. The aromas and flavours were intense in the grape musts, with an excellent balance of sugars and acids promising some fine, long aging wines ahead for the 2021 vintage.
We selected the base wines from our Winery Bank pinot noir and chardonnay parcels for this wine, both showing the most open and generous fruit profile. The wines underwent alcoholic fermentation and a full malolactic fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks, oak casks and barrels. The wine was bottled and spent 36 months aging on lees at the winery before being disgorged.
