Description
The vineyards are located on a higher elevation than most in the McLaren Vale and have pre-phylloxera vines which are, in some cases, over 100 years old. These vines are bush planted and survive on mostly dry-grown vineyards. Fruit is handpicked and sent to the winery, where the grapes are fermented in open-topped stainless steel tanks with the use of natural yeasts. The wine spends around 18 months in oak before it is hand-bottled at the winery, without filtering or fining.
