2020 will be one of those more easily remembered vintages, not just because of the nervousness surrounding Covid-19 but also because of the nervousness over summer. The growing season was cooler than average in Otago and but late March brought a great autumn for winemaking: six weeks of warm, dry, frost-free weather. The grapes had all the time needed to fully ripen.<\/p>

The cool summer, particularly at the start, had the effect of slower cell division giving smaller berries. Consequently, the total yields for all of Central Otago wineries were 28% lower than the previous year,<\/p>

The Chardonnay is dry. Aged in approximately ten percent new oak, undergoing wild fermentation, inoculated\u00a0to finish fermentation. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation.<\/p>
