Grapefruit, guava, and blood orange zest come together with savoury texture on the palate.
Vineyard: From Faraday, about five mins down the road from our winery in Harcourt. Sandy granitic soils, grown at high elevation, around 475m, on the cool south side of Mt Alexander. A few locals have nicknamed the vineyard site Leanganook - this is the indigenous name for Mt Alexander.
Winemaking: Three separate picks over seven days for different textural elements. All destemmed, and fermented on skins for an average of 10 days. 98% aged in old oak barrels, with a touch of Riesling added for freshness. All wild ferment, full malolactic fermentation in the spring, bottled unfiltered.
