Vintage Conditions: Sourced from the Murray Darling Valley Region of Victoria, the ripening of the fruit was carefully monitored with harvest day chosen on the basis of flavour ripeness. All of the grapes used in the production of this wine were from Certified Organic Vineyards, guaranteeing the pristine nature of the fruit.
Background: After harvesting at night, the winemaker and cellar crew worked meticulously to ensure that the juice was handled as gently as possible, avoiding oxidation and maintaining freshness. Cold settling of the juice at 1oC for a week ensured a crystal clear juice was admitted to fermentation. Organic Standards were rigorously followed to maintain the pristine nature of this wine. The wine was left to rest on the yeast lees for several weeks to gain a doughy complexity which will develop into a savoury nuttiness with age.
