Serena Sutcliffe: Vintage September 22–October 4. 21hl/ha. 12.2% ABV. There was some new equipment in the chai this year: new concrete vats and cooling equipment to control fermentation temperatures—progress! The heat and dryness of the summer produced an intense tannic wine—real saddle leather. Huge wine, drier than it was (normal procedure) but with lots of impact.
