Winemaking Notes
Two years (2013 & 2014) of harsh winters resulted in a slightly reduced harvest for the 2015 vintage. The grapes were smaller in size giving a higher skin to juice ratio. This produced a wine with deep colour and complex flavours. The grapes were harvested, with a portion set aside to dry for 60 days in the traditional appassimento method. The wine was fermented and aged separately for 16 months in French, American and Hungarian oak barrels before final blending. Enjoy now after a lengthy decant, the Dream 2015 will continue to evolve in your cellar through to the year 2025.
