Nose Attribute

Aging

It is then transferred to well-seasoned hogsheads and aged for up to 12 months prior to bottling with minimal filtration. This results in a wine with purity of fruit that is unpretentious and eminently satisfying to allow for regular indulgence.

Grape Varietal

Hand picked in the cool of the morning, 60% whole bunches were put into 5 tonne open fermenter with the remaining 40% crushed onto the top of the Grenache bunches. A daily program of pump overs assists in the partial carbonic maceration which adds complexity to the wine. Aged in mostly well-seasosned French and American oak to ensure fruit is not demurred. Kept fresh and bright, with length and crunchy acidity.

Approximately 8 acres are under bush vine and grow in the alluvial soil of the Kurragong geology formation, this well- drained soil is optimal for Grenache growing. These old vines are low yielding but each bunch providing a concentrated array of flavours from ripe cherries to plums and blackberries.
