Winemaking notes
Fruit went directly to press after picking. The free run juice was run off to tank to settle. We retain a relatively high level of solids in the ferment, all of which is wild fermented in used French oak or concrete egg. We do not encourage malolactic as we want to preserve the crisp, citrus fruit profile.
Viticultural notes
Sourced from two vineyards, one in
Gumeracha and one in Lenswood.
Trellised vineyards, pruned to produce
moderate yields.
Tasting notes
Citrussy, subtle oak influence and a bright yet creamy palate.
