"Good wines are made, great wines are grown."
Great winemaking begins with the soil, starting with the perfect plot of land. Each grape varietal carefully selected to match the vineyards unique soil and climate conditions. The hand of the winemaker, evident at every step, ensuring that the grapes develop to their full potential.
Harvesting the grapes at the right time ensures the fruit retains natural acidity and fresh varietal characters. As the grapes ripen, our winemaker decides when to pick the grapes, based on skill, awareness and taste. The optimal time for harvest varies from year to year. Tasting the fruit is the best way to test for quality and ripeness. During the ripening process, grapes become uniformly sweet and ready for harvest.
Millon wines embrace new technologies whilst respecting old-world traditions, handling our fruit gently, destemming, not crushing, preserving beautiful whole berries. This technique results in wines with great purity of fruit whilst not over extracting from the skins and seeds.
