VINEYARDS

Frankland River.

SEASON

Rains during the month of January helped to freshen up the vineyard and top our dams and water tanks. Fortunately these rains were followed by sunny dry conditions and we found minimal disease pressure in the vineyard, which was mitigated with a little crop thinning. Yields have returned to normal cropping levels.

WINEMAKING

Machine harvesting during the cool of the night in order to maintain optimal fruit integrity. The grapes are pressed under cool gentle conditions, then allowed to naturally settle overnight. The fine cloudy juice is then sent to stainless steel vessels to complete wild fermentation, under cool conditions, to preserve freshness. Post ferment the wine is blended and prepared for bottling to retain its fresh fruit characters.

TASTING NOTES

This wine has a lovely floral nose with notes of orange blossom and citrus zest. Wild fermentation has delivered a palate which is textural and soft with delicious melon flavours and hints of spice.
