Analytical data
semi-dry
Vineyard
Season: the 2022 season started cool during flowering, which meant low yields for early budding varieties. The season was mostly mild and dry, but some well timed rain kept vines healthy for what was a later than normal harvest. Source: from high and cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens.
Soil Type
Varies between vineyards but mostly clay loam topsoil over red/yellow clay intermixed with Ironstone and quartz.
Vinification
Vinification: the grapes were all hand picked. Half were whole bunch pressed and half were crushed and pressed, each fermented separately.
Maturation
The wine was blended and then spent four months on lees prior to bottling.
