That way, the grapes absorb the natural characters of the earth. You see, our growers have been perfecting this way of doing things, year in year out, on the same lands and with the same sense of patience and dedication. And they’ll continue to pass the knowledge along. So, the earthworks story will be a long one, tied to tradition and driven by sustainability. Now, time to crack the lid, lean back and taste the fruits of their perseverance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood winter rains replenished groundwater and enabled the vines to happily start growing. Spring was warm to mild with rain events through spring to keep moisture levels up to the growing vines. Summer and autumn were both cool to mild and relatively dry with an occasional shower. This was ideal for slow ripening and achieving the perfect balance of flavour ripeness and natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBunches are carefully destemmed and placed into fermenters. The grapes are gently macerated and fermented with yeast native to the vineyard.
