Tasting Notes
Maturation
18 months on fine lees, 20% new French oak 500L.
Palate
A small addition of co-fermented Viognier (planted nearby) filled out the palate
and completed the wines delicate tannin profile.
Vinification
2t open top stainless steel, indigenous yeast,
two-week ferment, hand-plunging & pump-over twice daily.
Region Notes
For 2022, ‘The Blonde’ came from a vineyard planted in the ‘Barossa Ranges’ of
the Eden Valley GI. The Shiraz (at 450m elevation) was planted in 1962 on an east
west
downwards slope protected by the afternoon sun. The soils are granitic and
sandy over limestone and clay.
