Fresh and vibrant with big tropical fruit character, we've come to love drinking this wine on a warm summer's day. A rare example from Barossa's high country of Eden Valley, we thank those who are 'in on' our little secret and await each new batch release
These grapes were grown in a beautiful setting amongst rolling hills and gums trees and a rare example of a Sauvvy from Barossa's high country of Eden Valley. The season was mild, with slow ripening giving an ideal balance of high acid with fruity characters.
As always, our Sauv was allowed to ripen a touch more then the average Savvy, reducing herbal notes and developing more tropical fruit. Picked in cool evening on the 8th of March 2022, we whole-bunch pressed the grapes to retain bright and fresh characteristics.
After cold-settling, the wine was fermented slowly are carefully at a controlled 14 degrees for 2 weeks. The wine was bottled on our estate directly from tank with minimal transfers and through gentle vacuum filling.
Vibrant tropical fruit - mango, passionfruit & grapefruit - dominate the aroma, the palate abounds with tropical fruit. Not as dry as the previous vintage, we love the crisp and fruity characters on a warm day.
