The winemaking and viticulture teams at Saint & Scholar are excited about the quality of the wine from the 2023 vintage. The cool, wet conditions provided a few challenges at times, but the overall result is outstanding. 

Harvested under the cool hush of early morning, the fruit was swiftly delivered to the winery and gently crushed, before resting in a 12-hour cold soak to coax out colour and perfume. As the must gradually warmed, yeast was introduced to begin its quiet work, with careful pump-overs across the following seven days to build depth, texture and harmony. Once fermentation reached its conclusion, the wine was pressed to tank, half transferred to barrel for maturation, the balance retained in tank to preserve brightness and purity of fruit.
