Winery & Vintage Info
Starting early March, the 2018 Vintage can be defined by the even ripening that lead to great fermentation conditions. The grapes came into the winery at a steady pace with excellent colour and breadth of flavour shown as soon as the fruit was first crushed. Ferments were easily controlled allowing efficient extraction of tannins and flavours from the skins during pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation moved quickly during the oak maturation phase to reveal the intensity and depth of character of the wines which will be the hall mark of 2018 Vintage.
All our red varieties produced extraordinary results, with many blocks achieving greater yields and higher Fruit Weights(™) than ever before. A result of the success of our Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme(™).
Marquis Fruit Weight(™) is the percentage of your palate (from the tip of your tongue going all the way back) that's covered by the velvety sensation of fruit, before you experience any of the structural components of the wine and is our guarantee of quality. Required: 65% - 75%
