This wine was crafted with minimal intervention winemaking including wild fermentation and whole bunch pressings. Gentle pressings and handling of the grapes, coupled with light handed oak treatment has created a perfectly balanced wine with structure and fruit characters showing off the terroir and regionalist of Macclesfield. Extended lees and solids contact during ferment promote biscuit and flinty notes.
The Vineyard
The grapes were sourced from the Saint-Clare Vineyard in Macclesfield, Adelaide Hills. Delicately handled, the grapes were hand-picked on the 19th of February 2021.
