Production Details Exceptionally healthy fruit was harvested at the end of February.

Stirring on fine yeast lees lasted until bottling preparation began in November 2007. The wine was bottled under screwcap in December of the same year. An early vintage with the Riesling coming off the vine at the end of February. Very healthy fruit with no rot, and very good acidity. Maturation 5-10 years.
