The fruit was harvested over the period of a week to give a range of
varietal characters. Individual batches were cool fermented in a
combination of stainless steel with a range of yeast strains as well as a
wild ferment component in old oak barrel to add spice and interest.
Components were assessed at the end of fermentation to create an
optimum blend of fruit characteristics and wine layers.
VINTAGE
The Adelaide Hills region managed to escape the influence of extreme
heat which was seen across the rest of Australia, the yield produced in
2019 was about 50% of what was produced in the previous season.
The region only experienced two short heatwaves of 4 days with
cooler conditions between heat spikes, which allowed vines to fully
recover; this, combined with a mild autumn, resulted in good flavour
and colour development, though with a small crop.
