Winemaker Ashley Hepworth has done a fabulous job with these new and upcoming releases, especially the 2011s, which are superb. In 2011, Hepworth shortened macerations by about five days relative to the 2012s, all of which saw longer periods of skin contact. Since 2009 Phelps has moved to only estate-grown fruit, which is a huge commitment to quality for a winery operating on this scale. For more on Phelps, readers might want to take a look at this short video shot with Hepworth during the 2013 harvest.
