Marcottage or layering


Over the Christmas period some missing vines have been replaced by layering also known as marcottage.

This allows the ancient vineyards to remain viable by filling the gaps in a row when an old vine dies by growing a branch from a neighbouring vine into a new plant.

The 2022 vintage has been racked and transferred to the barrel on the 17th of February. The 2021 vintage has been racked and put into a stainless steel vat and will be bottled soon.
