Production Details Late season dew and humidity encourages the development of some botrytis. Grapes were harvested by hand in March of the 2004 vintage. Some fruit was affected by the botrytis cinerea, which will impart character and complexity with bottle age. Cool fermentation took place in closed stainless steel vats. The wine was bottled 6 months after harvest. Ready to drink now, but will evolve well in bottle for a further 5-6 years.
