Single Vineyard, Clare Valley.

Vintage Conditions

A dry cool autumn in 2021 lead into good winter rains. Above average spring falls gave way to a very cool, dry summer and autumn 2022. These conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes, resulting in full flavours, good natural acidities, and lower Baume’s (sugar) than previous vintages. Overall conditions were the best they had been for many years, and a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional.

Winemaking

Harvested at sunrise and placed directly into the press where the juice was held on skins for 2 hours to develop its pale colour. After free-draining and gentle pressing the juice was cold settled for natural clarification. Utilizing a champagne isolated yeast, the wine was fermented at low temperatures as to retain the bright natural fruit aromas. The wine once complete was allowed to settle naturally before being racked and filtered for bottle.
