- Roussanne & Marsanne
- Sourced from 20 year old vines in Yangarra Vineyard, Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, 175 MASL
- Weathered maslin sand combined with ironstone gravels
- Hand harvested
- Three separate natural ferments; i) Roussanne fermented on skins for 4 weeks ii) Roussanne whole bunch pressed and fermented in puncheon barrels with full solids iii) Marsanne fermented on skins for 6 weeks
- The barrel-fermented parcel underwent full MLF on its way to maturation, while the skin-fermented parcels were pressed to a combination of old puncheon barrels and stainless steel vats
- Each small batch was then left on gross lees to mellow for 8 months before careful racking directly off of lees to bottle with a small amount of sulfur in November 2022
