Vinification
This wine has been produced from Tempranillo grapes picked
in late February from our Audrey Wilkinson Vineyard.
The grapes were crushed and destemmed with cold soaking
for 5 days. Primary fermentation took place for 7 days in a
stainless steel fermenter. The wine was then pressed and put
to a mixture of small & large, French oak barrels where matu
ration
took place for 8 months. The wine was then blended,
sterile filtered and bottled.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now - 5 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage began in the Hunter Valley with significant
late spring rainfall which then gave way to drier but cooler
than average weather through December and January. The
resulting long, cool ripening period allowed for the grapes to
develop complex and intense flavours, whilst maintaining
freshness and bright acidity.
