  • Vineyard Notes

    Grown on a north -facing bank of the Derwent River this is a 28-year-old cool-climate vineyard. The soils are permeable loams over Permian Lime originating from a 250-280M year old seabed. The vines are meticulously hand tended and yields are reduced by 50% to one bunch per shoot.

  • Winemaking

    The hand-picked fruit was hand sorted in the winery. 40% was whole bunches straight into a fermenter and crushed by foot, the remaining 60% was destemmed to a fermenter. 100% wild yeast, hand plunged and extended post ferment maceration before being transferred to 100% new oak for maturation. Malolactic occurred naturally in the spring. A small sulphur addition, filtration then bottling.
