Wine Description
Each parcel of grapes was harvested, bag pressed and left to settle separately, prior to partially being transferred to French oak. We let nature take her course with the ferments (but we experimented with a special Burgundy yeast on some of the fruit to get a clean finish on the wine).
The barrels were stirred fortnightly for 2 months to build palate weight and depth.
We then aged the components for 6 months in a combination of new
and older French oak barrels prior to blending.
Tasting notes Fuller richer nose with struck match characters, summer stone fruit including nectarine and apricot. Textured palate with apricot nectar balanced by spice and subtle nutty notes and a balanced acidity
Winemaker's Bio
Alex is from a family of grape growers where the cool climate of his home region – up in the Strathbogie Ranges – was perfect for their premium Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. With grape growing and winemaking firmly in his mind, he couldn’t help but take on a degree in winemaking from Charles Sturt University (BAppSc).
Alex has gained experience around the world in Napa Valley, Jura and across Australia in the Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.
