The 2021 growing season was almost as cool as 2020, but significantly wetter because of La Niña. Picking began in mid-March, with an average sized crop overall. The yield in our close planted vineyards suffered because of the previous year’s cool weather effecting fruitfulness and was insufficient to release single vineyard wines.  
The 2021 estate wine is a blend of all close planted and conventional planting vineyard sites, plantings dating back to 1976 through to 2007, predominately a blend of clone MV6 with smaller quantity of 114, 115, 777.
Wild yeast fermentation with partial whole bunch and carbonic maceration influence followed by maturation in French oak hogsheads of which 20% new. The wine was blended and bottled in February 2022.
