In 2010, harvest began on 1 October, with most red wines already in the winery by then. This wine remains strikingly ripe and broad, showing full-bodied richness that surprises even after all these years. Underpinned by lacy acidity, it layers in freshness alongside nuances of quince, pear, and soft vanilla. Generous melon fruit and the wine’s impressive grip on the finish suggest it still has the structure to age for another decade or more. Profound. The winemaking at Arkenstone focuses on long, cold fermentations with native yeasts and ageing on lees to preserve freshness and build texture. Sémillon is blended in after the first racking, and fermentations are now partially conducted in concrete eggs alongside barrels.
