2020 was still affected by the preceding drought years, which resulted in reduced yields. However, some winter rainfall began to replenish water reserves in the soil. The grapes underwent a perfectly paced, slow and steady ripening. Dry summer conditions resulted in small berries with good levels of concentration. Harvest was earlier than previous years, with cool conditions around harvest retaining elegant fruit and vibrant acidity.The fruit was hand-picked into small crates and taken directly to the winery, where it remained overnight. The majority of the grapes was destemmed and then crushed. 10% were left as whole bunches for additional structure and freshness. The wine was aged in 500-litre barrels for 18 months, with 30% new French oak used.
