Vintage conditions
The 2020 vintage at Capel Vale Wines was a tremendous vintage resulting in lower yields with exceptional quality fruit, high flavour concentration and good natural acidity.
Vinification details
Neutral yeast is used for fermentation in stainless tanks. To retain freshness, the wine is fined, filtered and bottled as soon as possible post ferment.
