Tasting notes from the winery for previous vintage Indigo Organic Growers White Field Blend 2021

This is a freshly scented wine of lemon citrus, white florals, apple and subtle garden herbs. The palate also is fresh but with time spent on lees it has built some weight and texture without compromising flavour. The richness of fruit comes through predominantly and the tightness of acidity helps pull the wine long and fine. This is a very satisfying and fuller flavoured fresh white wine, perfect with light seafood dishes or even roast pork and apple sauce. 

Summary: The Indigo Grape Growers Collective is a modern range of Organic wines sourced and crafted by a small number of like-minded vignerons. These wines are part of a progressive generation that choose sustainable organic farming as well as crafting wines that are suitable for vegans. 

Winemaking: Picked in the cool of the morning to maintain freshness and vitality. Destemmed and crushed prior to the ferment which was solely in stainless steel. Extended time on yeast lees in tank has added subtle flavour and textural nuance, whilst maintaining the ultra-important freshness and lift. Vinified without excessive handling to enable the fruit to be as expressive as possible.  

2021 Vintage: If 2020 was all about the heat, then 2021 will be remembered as the wet season. In many parts of Australia, it was unseasonably wet in winter but not at critical times to do damage nor impact the resultant ripeness of the grapes. A cool and dry summer meant even ripening was achieved between dry and rainy spells and the ensuing fruit quality was excellent and for once yields were up making for a bumper harvest in 2021.
