A warm start to the season saw an earlier than normal bud burst and a lack of any damaging frosts. An excellent calm, warm period of weather during flowering and fruitset meant a decent crop was set. As the grapes were harvested, the fruit was in excellent condition and full of flavour. The wine is a blend of 68% Inlet Vineyard and 32% Black Rabbit Vineyard. The fruit spent 28 days on skins; 9 days cold soak, 8 days in ferment, 11 days post ferment. It spent 12 months in barrel prior to a natural malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled in May 2018.
