Wine Description
The ‘Bush Vine’ project represents the culmination of 35+ years’ experience of our families inland farming and viticultural journey where we test the limits of ‘dry growing’ in Merbein, Victoria, the heart of our production.
The vineyard was established organically in 2017 and managed with no herbicides or pesticides, hand pruned, hand harvested and even manually weeded. In the extreme hot and sometimes brutal climate of the Murray Darling, each vine is grown as a little tree/bush to provide its own shade and protection from the harsh sun. They are spaced 2.5 metres apart which enables them to capture the water it needs and minimises competition from neighbouring vines.
Accolades

Outstanding intensity of flavour. This really does make a statement. Brine, nectarine, mineral, slate, nuts and florals. Sherry-like aspects, and honeyed notes too, but simultaneously fresh and floral, not to mention lengthy. This is absolutely out of the ordinary. Campbell Mattinson
