More Information

In the cellar

In the cellar, the grapes were crushed, put through a mash cooler and taken to the press where they had skin contact for 4 hours before being pressed. The juice was fermented for 8 days. After the alcoholic fermentation the wine was left on the lees for 30 days.

In the vineyard

The grapes for this wine were derived from a ten-hectare vineyard, planted in 2015 on the cooler west-facing slope at an altitude of 160m above sea level. The vines are grafted onto Richter 99 rootstock. The average rainfall is 700 ml per annum. The rainfall was below average at 588 mm for the 2022/2023 season. Although the vineyards benefit greatly from the water retentive clay soil, the vines are irrigated. The grapes were harvested late January to mid-February 2023 at an average sugar level of 23° Balling. They were handpicked and placed in small baskets to prevent bruising.
