Region
Yarra Valley (Dixons Creek)
Appearance
Pale yellow with green tinges
Bouquet
Smooth citrus notes with complexity, flinty, nutty aromas
Palate
The wine has long mineral/fruit complex palate which shows complexity and balance.
Winemaking
Fruit is sourced from two plots planted in 1981 and 1990. Both are planted in a north-south row orientation and face east through south.
These less exposed sites give the greatest detail to the final wine. When optimum flavour is achieved the fruit is hand harvested, sorted, whole bunch crushed and pressed. The juice is not ameliorated with any fining or addition. It is racked to cask with everything except the vineyard dust and allowed to ferment naturally.Only older French oak casks are used (3 - 5 years
old). Once fermentation is complete, the wines
are topped, sulphured and stirred fortnightly
until October. In December, the wine was racked by gravity, settled and bottled in January, 2008.
