Production Details Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend. Production: 164 barrels. Aged 18 months in 225L French oak barrels, 32% new. Long and cold winter with 35% more rain than usual. Excellent growing season until late October storm winds up to 118 km/hr caused excessive vineyard damage with crop losses up to 60%. Odd showers during second half of harvest giving reds longer hang time. Outstanding white wines, particularly Chardonnay. Red wines came out with lovely soft textures and richness.
