2021 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Botrytis

The first release of Botrytis is made with late harvested Sauvignon Blanc from our close-spaced Crayères Vineyard.Vintage 2021 offered perfect conditions to make a botrytis wine, so after harvesting the majority of our Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc in late February 2021 we left some fruit on the eastern part of the vineyard. We harvested this fruit three months later on 25th of May 2021 with 60% clean late harvested fruit, 30% shrivelled fruit, and 10% botrytis. We fermented and aged the wine in tank and tried to retain the very intense pure flavours from the late harvested and botrytised fruit.
