The new millennium had a great start with the 2001 vintage. The climate was stable which allowed the grapes to ripen gradually.

A prolonged fermentation in the cellar complemented the work we did throughout the year in the vineyards. The ensuing wine sustained a long period of ageing in medium sized barrels (25 and 32 HL) as tradition dictates.

The strong structure is characterised by pronounced tannins and reveals all the potential of this vintage. It bodes well for further improvement in the bottle.
