The Story
The fruit for this wine was sourced from Lewison Wine Estates near Swan Hill. This winery is now fully certified as A grade organic, and was "Organic In Conversion" for the 2004 vintage. The wine was skillfully made by the folk at Hayward's of Locksley. After 7 days fermentation the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (50% new and 50% old) and slow barrel fermentation continued for several months. The wine was bottled after 12 months oak maturation.
