Winemaker's Notes:

2016 was a tough vintage for the dry farmed vineyards with the extreme drought and we were forced to picked the wines fresher.

The crop was also generally more than 50% smaller so expect the same concentration and yellow fruit normally associated with this wine but with a lower level of alcohol and a more lively acidity.
