Description
The Gippsland wine is grown on a site with considerable vine age - almost 20 years -
and is dominated by the MV6 clone. The vines are on a slight north-facing slope and
are cooled from the Bass Strait winds that have proven also to wreak havoc in spring
at the pivotal times of flowering.
Wild ferment, with 25-30% whole bunches to aid in the wine's structure and
complexity. The slow take-off of the wild ferment allows the wine to sit on skins for
close to three weeks. The wine is then pressed off to 30% new oak and racked twice
off lees over an 18-month period in barrel. It then goes to bottle where it’s allowed to
settle for eight months.

Cracking wine! As you unfold the layers, it can be savoured as a meal in itself, maybe entree. The
spice and fruit give depth to rich smooth tannins, which allows the wine to lengthen across the
palate with utter joy for the taste buds. Philippa Farr
