Nose

Distinctly aromatic floral bouquet that immediately attracts your attention.
Underlying this is prominent spices and honeysuckle fragrance that is complemented by subtle
oak nuances.

Palate

There is a really lovely balance of early season stone fruitss and soft acid which
leaves a gentle and lingering long dry finish. The use of some oak maturation creates an overall
mouthfeel of roundness and mild dryness which is so complimentary to food.

Growing Conditions

All fruit is estate grown with organic principals and practices. The 2019 vintage was long and
cool, with slightly lower yield than previous years. Pretty much across the state quality was very
good, with some powerful wines made in both in whites and reds. The whites produced some
intense and flavoursome wines.

Winemaking

The fruit is crushed and destemmed and the juice is settled in a stainless steel tank for 24 hours. The juice was then stirred gently and transferred into a mixture of brand new and secondary, hand selected French Oak Puncheons. After which, the wine goes through a wild fermentation carried out by indigenous yeast. The wine is held at a constant temperature in our specifically designed barrel fermentation room. Over the following 5 months of barrel maturation, the wine was regularly stirred and topped. After this period, careful barrel selection takes place and the wine is assembled and prepared for bottling. No fining took place, and the wine was bottled with minimal filtration. The addition of sulphites, whilst necessary at the bottling stage, is kept to an absolute minimum. Our wines are crafted using organically grown fruit and there is little additives used in the wine making process.

Appearance

Bright pale straw colour.
