A WORD FROM OUR WINEMAKER

All of our 18 previous harvests will be remembered for different characteristics, blessings and toils. The maiden vintage of 1999 is concrete in my mind (pun intended) for the builders, bricks and mortar constantly under my feet, whilst manoeuvring grapes through the system in what proved to be an award-winning season. 2000 was warmer than the previous year and taught me that even in cool conditions, there are vintage variations that have to be managed carefully in order to create a constant wine style.
