Tasting Notes

NOT AVAILABLE FOR TASTING AT CELLAR DOOR

This wine offers the sensation of fresh cut grass, nettles and juicy grapefruit. This rich fruit is brought to life by a fine vein of natural acidity typical of the cool Darling Hills.

About The Harvest

The grapes were harvested in three stages between 21° and 23° Balling. The grapes harvested in the morning went directly to the sorting table and the night-harvested grapes spent the night in a refrigerated container.

In The Cellar

The grapes were de-stemmed before crushing and had skin contact for 6-12 hours. The juice was settled for 2-3 days, inoculated with cultured yeast, fermented at 13-16° C for 12-14 days and had lees contact for 2 months, without stirring. The wine was filtered and bottled in June 05.
Wood Maturation: None
